[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The author didn't attend any STEM classes where the course load are significantly higher. You can't pass those classes without putting in work. There are no essays, only labs, psets, mid terms and finals.[/quote]

My STEM friends skipped lecture ALL the time at my T10.[/quote]

I graduated from a string state flagship with a 4.0 in engineering and skipped all the lectures in some of my classes.  If you decide you are better working from the book and doing problem sets, that can be a very good choice.  Some profs really help you understand the material.  Some profs drone on writing random equations on the board and you have no idea what they are saying.  For the latter, you have to find some other way to figure out what is going on.  Now if your STEM friends did not do any problem sets and aced the classes, they were likely geniuses.  There are one or two kids like that but for the vast majority, working your way through problem sets is the way you learn.  [/quote]
