Also, in college, I'd follow the derivation that the prof did on the chalkboard, and think I understood it. Then, doing the homework, I'd realize I didn't understand it at all. Doing the homework myself was where the real learning occurred.

I guess there's a reason why you don't spend most of your time at school in class with a professor.

The general rule was 2 hours of homework for each hour of lecture. With a 5 class load, it worked out to 45 hours a week.

This kind of workload was a shock to me. It more than a year to adapt to it.
