I'm not familiar with these studies so I can't comment, but my main point remains:
If eschewing the traditional approach toward homework results in students failing to learn, how come so many schools continue to do so in their upper level classes?

Is that why we have so many crappy lawyers?

Interestingly enough, the vast vast majority of crappy lawyers come from the crappy law schools, where they take bottom of the barrel students and basically spend 3 years teaching them to pass the bar. Among those of us who don't spend all our time learning how to do multiple choice questions, there aren't so many crappy lawyers.

Damn...maybe I took the wrong route, sounds like what you're doing is a piece of cake compared to what I'm doing now. Well I guess them's the breaks of pursuing hard science.

Different strokes for different folks. I wouldn't trade places with my girlfriend and she (a neurobiology major from Harvard) wouldn't trade with me.
