I went to uni 10 years ago and even then, I can't think of any classes that were just memorizing and regurgitating. You'd have to memorize fundamental concepts, but come exam time you are applying those concepts to new questions, not regurgitating anything. In high school a lot of exams were regurgitation, but I attribute it to teachers at that level just not having the niche experience required to craft clever "apply this theory" sort of questions that a domain expert in a university could do, and students in highschool are also responsible for a lot less theory learning on their own.
