I should be studying right now.....Follow

Instead I'm in here....

If you don't care about the subject, and just want enough knowledge to pass the class, then yeah. If you're going for mastery, it's better to use your study time to expand the breath of your knowledge of the topic than to go over the classroom notes you already understand front-to-back.

Like, in a Physics class, if you understand the principles and calculations of your current subject matter, find out the history behind the scientists who experimented with it, what led to what discoveries, competing theories that got shot down, and effects it had on other branches of science. That sort of thing. If nothing else, you can make an impression on your professor, which leads to letters of recommendation a few years later where they can actually remember who you are.

If you need to double check in the text book before you open me up, I don't want you doing my surgery. So as long as you get 99 odd percent, no you're fine.

Well I have an exam tomorrow in commercial electronics (yes its all about setting up badass home theaters) You'd think that would be no sweat but the test is ALL memorizing accronyms. If not described exactly how they were in lecture you're wrong.
The big one is on Saturday its for my OACETT certification. Its 3 hours and all about private law. I'm sure Ill go into it with an hour of quick studying ........

So how did that surgery final go?

Until then, just a heads-up: if you get a knock on the door from some gentlemen with a bottle of chloroform and a duffel bag, you'll know you "won".
