I believe that throughout my last degree i spent time learning in both styles. I found that at the beginning of the course i was surface learning and just skimming the information and not always having a full understanding. Towards exam time i would try to get right to the bottom of a subject and have a full understanding, but because i hadn't done this from the start, i didn't ever have a reasonable understanding of all the subjects covered..so i was expert in some and clueless about others. i'm definately hoping to change this and keep on top of things this time round.
