I agree.

same here. One guy I know tried to memorize the steam tables out of the back of our thermo book so he didnt have to waste time looking them up. Never got a right answer.

Its one thing to recognize a highly repeated number, like the density of water, but to try to memorize everything is a waste of brain power.
