    The sheet of notes is largely a method professors use to GET students to study. It’s an exercise in reviewing and summarizing the material in a way that makes sense to you.

      Precisely. It is actually very simple - I will literally show you the test on the board over the span of the semester. I literally say this on day one. If you take notes every class, you will find the exams easy. If you also do the homework, they will be almost trivial.

      Still, almost half the people still manage to fail. And it’s weirdly always the people I never see until the last week of the semester.
