Penalties for memorizing formulas and imitating
examples instead of thinking
- You waste time and enthusiasm memorizing unnecessary and boring
things.
- You forget everything a week after the test.
- You forget or misremember the formula during the test.
- You use the formula in a context where it doesn't apply, and get a wrong
answer.
- You are not able to solve problems that are slightly different from the
examples you've seen.
