Why Frances is so much better at engineering than I am! :)

The better way to learn:
A: Do grad school students remember everything they were taugh in college all the time?
A student who memorizes the entire physics curriculum is no more a physicist than one who memorizes the dictionary is a writer. Studying physics is about building skills, specifically the skills of modeling novel situations and solving difficult problems. The results in your textbook are just the raw material. You're a builder. Don't spend all your time collecting more materials. Collect a few, then build things.
