In my experience this was more common 10+ years ago than it is today. Memorizing things temporarily can only get you so far. The problem is that grade inflation means you need to make an A or A+ or you just don't get it at all. Getting a B means you are very mediocre and getting a C means you need to retake the course or explore a different field imo. If you are only really able to articulate that you understand 80% then you only know enough to be wrong in new creative ways.

I'm worried enough about good students falling into a state department trap, but these mediocre students will destroy us all one day.
