The process of cramming is like building a large pile of pack of cards one after the other. If you forget a key element of the crammed knowledge, it's as good as pulling out a card from the piled lot. The result is the swift falling of these cards, the cookies crumbled. Knowledge should be accumulated independently to allow for easy referencing in the future, cramming doesn't allow this... |

ayusco85: If u cram with understanding, then that's not cramming....Of course you do need to memorize ("Cram" some fundamental concepts.....Even those concepts need to be understood also to enable you to formulate solutions and apply the "crammed" concepts.....I think what we are talking about here is people that just cram without understanding....trust me it is possible to cram without understanding..... |

Tell me how on earth you would answer the questions below without cramming. In some courses, you have no choice but to cram certain things. 1) What are the name of the three bones of the inner ear? 2) List the classification (taxonomy) of living things 3) List pathway of blood flow in the 4 chambers of the heart 4) Name all the blood vessels in the "Circle of Willis" 5) List all the bones of the wrist in their correct order ( 8 of them) 6) What is the formula to calculate Relative Biological Effect (RBE) of beam on a given tissue 7) Draw and label the Billary tract Name any 5 gram positive microbe 9) Name all the bones of the skull separating the cranial bones from the facial bones 10) What is the diff between myocardial infraction and pectoral Angina |

The cause of unbearable unemployment situation in our country Nigeria in particular and all the third world countries at large is " Hear and Forget " ( cram and pour ) . And to an extension the unproductive nature of most of the lucky employed few in established organizations . Our educational curriculum especially in the tertiary level is a part of the problem , while misinformation and misconception on the part of the general populace is the greater cause . Below is the cause of the problem and the way out of the mess . Thus : The cause of the problem - Our academic curriculum encourages " Hear and Forget " ( ie cram and pour ) The way out of the problem - Our academic curriculum should start to encourage " See and Remember " and " Learn and Understand " In summary , when students are made to believe that the essence of going to tertiary institution is to make good grade by any means possible and the general populace yard stick of adjudging the standard of knowledge one acquired in the duration of stay in the academic environment is also based on the grades acquired , the end result becomes " unbearable unemployment and unproductivity " . 1 Like |

It depend on the course. For courses relating or revolving around Medicine, you have to read and pass effectively. Art and Social science course like accounting, Bus Admin. These type of course you have to know how to cram wella cause it involve writing of so many love letters and using of format one have to follow serially. And after school you won't see 70% of all them in working environment |

You make sure you understand what you read, then you MUST cram definitions, advantages/disadvantages,dates, characteristics, formulae e.t.c That is the proper way to do it . |

Cultured: True to an extent. On the other hand, I begin to wonder why most examinations (primary, high sch., college and graduate) in the US are multiple choices (OBJ). Yet, this is a place where the best of the best are produced from the schools. It is not much easier to "cram" and pass OBJ exams than written exams? Yet, in Nigeria where the university exams are mostly written ("theory", people graduate without being prepared, not having the adequate skills required by employers. Evidently, there is something missing in the school system. We do not need to look far to understand that the curriculum in most of the courses in Nigeria college system need to be over hauled. |

sonnie10:Now this is just the practical of the whole story. If one fails to answer all these questions correctly even though you've been taught just last year. Lets say for instance you were able to list out all the carpal bones as well as bones of the skull with the cranial & facial bones properly differentiated in an examination of this nature as at that year but all you can remember as at this year is just 5 wrist bones and a few bones of the skull, does that mean one crammed in the first instance? Sorry I just need some clarity. |

Everybody crams, everybody understands. Both go together and cannot be separated. Some topics are abstracts while some are understandable. Only those that can do cram and memorise are the dons. It cannot affect you performance mainly because something that you have heard before would still have its residue inside you. Going back to read about them whenever it is necessary would remind you about them irrespective of weather they were memorised or were understood. Understanding and memorising are twins. |

Gleefreak125: Bros., once you graduate and get a job that is related to your course of study, trust me you will see these things everyday in your daily practice to the extent that they naturally become part and parcel of you. For example, any radiologist can tell by a mere glance that a body part (right or left side) was accurately marked on an image, even when the patient has situs inversus (a condition where one's heart is in the right side of the chest and not the left side) in the case of a chest x-ray. |
