Great thread idea. One post in particular was very interesting, although insanely long (for a post).
Question: Do grad school students remember everything they were taught in college all the time?
Answer: No. You build 'skills' that allow you to solve problems down the line. The poster specifically refers to physics, but I believe this applies to other technical fields as well, including Math, Computer Science, various forms of engineering, physical/natural sciences, etc. Just an amazing post about how best to approach learning in general… had to print it out to get through the whole thing.
