According to this you re-read / make notes about one lecture like 7 times.... This method could work if you were an insomniac...theoretically I am a university student and let me say that there is no possible way that you could use this method for every class, there is simply not enough time in the week to read and the re-read then make notes and more notes about every reading in every class.

It would depend on the class. If you’ll notice, I said in the post that you didn’t have to do this for every class.

Also, I wasn’t satisfied with just passing. I wanted to be the top in the class.

Then, when I finished my MBA, I was working 60+ hours. It can be done, it just depends on how bad you want to do it! I wanted it reeeeeeeally bad. Undergrad GPA 3.7, graduate school GPA 3.82. You don't have to use this for every class, but you should adapt it to your own style. I believe very few things in life are set in stone. Thanks Marc,

It must be nice to be able to focus on your studies without having to earn a living at the same time. Sounds like sublime luxury to me. I still managed a 3.65 GPA, though.

The thinking behind it is similar to OpenCourse (that MIT and Yale and some other schools have adopted) in that it is all about sharing knowledge for free. However the twist here is that students and tutors are the ones sharing the knowledge they have assimilated during their studies by posting videos and podcasts to the site. And the coolest part (well I guess that depends who you are talking to) is that the site has come up with a revenue model that shares earnings with the content publisher and anyone who shares the content [check out the HELP section to get the logistics of it all]. Kind of cool how they bring together learning and earning money into one site that hopes to be the “first and largest interactive peer-2-peer social network that extends beyond a class, school or geography.” [From the About page]. I wish I would have had something like this when I was in school, but I will be watching to see how the student community accepts and utilizes this new website, should be interesting.
