Has anyone done this, or know of anyone who's done this?

Don't you know you're
supposed to have read the material before the lecture?
It's one of those things everyone talks about but few have experienced: being "in phase". I was in phase once, because I was going on a trip on the date of a Mechanics theory exam, so I learned the stuff on my own and took an earlier exam. However, I still had to do the practical exam on the ordinary date, so I attended the lectures even though I alredy knew the material. It was a neat experience, not being completely lost for once.
I don't know what exactly Calc III corresponds to... some math/physics/engineering courses are a lot easier to learn on your own than others, it's best to ask friends who have taken it already what they think.
