Not all classes are like that. Thermo for example was a question like the homework, but with a curveball thrown in so that you had to know the material to get it.


Well yeah, that's the point...

You have what you practiced, but that extra thing is to see if you've mastered it.

I do the same things on my tests. It's not a curveball it's a test of understanding.

You can study something until you are blue in the face, but if you cannot use it then you don't deserve an A.

I understand where you are coming from.

I'm just letting the OP know that statics didn't even try to make sure you mastered it. It literally was a copy of a problem from the book sometimes with different numbers, but solved exactly the same. No curveballs at all. You didn't have to understand concepts in the least if you memorized how to solve practice problems. I had quite a few friends get through that class that way.
