<p>Using memorization isn’t exactly the most efficient way to learn anything. You can cram and memorize something for a test, but then you’ll be lucky if you can remember that information at the end of the week, nevertheless the next day. In order to truly learn the information and retain it, you must immerse yourself in it. Do you think that doctors just memorize information and attempt to “spit it back out”? I believe doing this is just a sign of laziness, because you actually have to work hard to retain long term information.</p>
