...Which kind of proves the point that the way knowledge/learning in college is measured is pretty flawed in that it doesn't predict who will be successful afterword. I just finished undergrad a couple years ago and I feel that the kinds of multiple choice exams you get in huge lecture-based classes are good at testing rote memorization and superficial understanding and the ability to get inside the professor's head, where as what's important is the ability to take your knowledge and apply it to something useful or use it to create more knowledge.
