IMO it's not about memorizing every lesson as much as it is conceptualizing and appreciation core concepts.

Isn't that every class in school?

Yeah I would say that holds true across disciplines. I just feel like I find myself looking back on what I learned in some of those courses more than some other classes, as some of them have shaped how I live my day to day life.

That's the way it should be but I've found more often then not classes rewarded binging/purging information in order to pass the upcoming test.
