Yup, yup... and it's interesting, the pointless stupid classes usually made me memorize everything, while real classes - like Calculus - let me bring in the formulas because if you don't know the material, all the cheat sheets in the world won't help.

and since anything you ever do in the real science/math/engineering world will give you time and opportunity to look up the right way to do it.

What was annoying about this test was that some of the questions had arbitrary components like which way you traverse your list of alternatives when you are applying a heuristic. You can really go in either direction as long as you are consistent through all iterations. But his questions were about just one... so I had to guess which way he would have gone. Maybe if I had memorized each step of how he worked the example in class... but that would have been pointless because it really does not matter which way you go. So I had to write notes next to my answers explaining which way I went :P
