It’s currently university exam season in my country. My roommate has quite literally not come to university at all the entire semester except for mandatory stuff; hasn’t studied at all, doesn’t even have the coursework, 0 notebooks or folders, etc. We’re more than half done with the exam session and he got 10/10 (max grade) at each exam. He just read through my coursework the day before the exam for a bit & that was it. When I ask him he says he uses intuition, logic and reading between the lines to understand the “patterns”. I just don’t understand how you can use “intuition” for microeconomics & math applied in economics for example. I know for a fact he doesn’t cheat cause in his mind cheating is too much effort.
I was like this in programming classes. I would read one time and immediately understand and go and get 10 at the exam. Even new languages or concepts, I would read it once and thats it. It was like a fun game for me. Anything else at school? Abysmal scores, including Math! (I hate when people equate programming and math as if its the same skill - its fucking not!) I would struggle with everything unrelated to computers.
