Prof here. Oooh, don't get me started.

Look, EVERYBODY WHO TEACHES ANYTHING. I can think of VERY few cases in which a valuable learning exercise involves "a tight-time pressure situation in which you can't talk to people or use the internet." If anything, we're reinforcing the false idea of "value in memorization."

Unfortunately, I think all too many of my colleagues haven't really thought about this and are just "doing things like we've always done."
