From Feynman's 1963 preface to his lectures (third last para, p5 in my Feb77 6th printing of Vol I):"The question, of course, is how well this experiment has succeeded. My own point of view -- which however, does not seem to be shared by most of the people who worked with the students -- is pessimistic. I don't think I did very well by the students. When I look at the way the majority of the students handled the problems on the examinations, I think that the system is a failure."
From last para in Preface:"It's impossible to learn very much by simply sitting in a lecture, or even by simply doing problems that are assigned."
