I had one class in University during my programming degree I didn’t understand at all. It was as if I was missing 3 classes of buildup, super advanced maths. No matter how much I asked for help or studied, I just didn’t get it. I was actually really distressed by it.
In desperation, I just memorised every question and answer in the book. Every day, hours of rote memorisation. The exam is worth 60%… and I ended up with a distinction grade. I think that’s equivalent to an A- or 3.7 GPA in North American.
I still have zero understanding of that class, and I’ve never needed to use it either. It feels like they just threw it in there as torture filler. I think that’s a perfect example of what you mean.
