BTW, I was not the model math student (several of my teachers were fond of gloating over that point). However, I oddly retain quite a bit more than many of my fellow students I still know and more importantly I know where to look if I can't remember a transform into the s-domain. I have these things and they have paper in them. Good for the retention of knowledge until the paper rots or the ink fades. We used to call them books and unlike media today you need to provide external light (I know archaic). Next I might suggest the use of holes in paper for programming. Wobbles away on my old man cane and when I was in school our robots went up hill both ways.
Here's a little point: A well learned individual is not the total of their ability to recall information like a teleprompter. A well learned individual knows themselves and how to collect and use the tool of knowledge.
