    Had a professor in a freshman physics class tell us during a study hall that the best way to learn physics is to go into the library and pull down all the various copies of all the different physics books you could find on the shelves and just do problems in the books until you got the hang of a particular kind of scenario being tested on.

    The fact that you’re getting charged $400 for a textbook is bullshit. But the idea that you’re in a class on a given subject and you just don’t need to bother reading the material in advance of the lecture is also bullshit.
