- superuser2 14y agoThis works when a class is about acquiring knowledge/learning material. As a high school student, I've never understood the purpose of these classes except as a vehicle for skill development; the skills-based classes have always been more enjoyable. I sincerely hope I'm not going to pay $35,000/year to learn facts I could just as easily look up.

Instant access from memory versus from anywhere from several seconds to several minute latency. Clearly, memorization is useful, especially for certain classes of fact that you need to use on a daily basis.
