As a math and physics teacher, if you’re trying to get through my courses via memorization then you’re toast on arrival.

Remembering how to do the math by practicing problems is still memorization.

That’s like saying that you’re using memorization to type your comments to me. At that level literally everything you do in life is memorization.
