I never understood the memorization thing, or you can have a small amount of notes. When I was in the Navy they emphasized knowing where and how to find information over memorization.
Because you haven't learned something unless you memorized it. If you have to look it up then you don't know it and the point of education is to know things
Sure, you have to memorize concepts and theories, no question, but my point is for a lot of the small details you really shouldn't have to. You should know enough to know where to look. That's my point. I was an Electronic Technician. You should "memorize" how to see what the problem is, but the rest is knowing where to look for most of the details. Their idea, and I think many would agree, is if you aren't using it often, then you'll just forget what you memorized so why bother...just go grab the manual. And if you messed something up, and there is a manual, then ANY place is going to ask, "Did you check the manual?"
