“I'm a great test-taker," she explained. "I'm great at guessing what teachers are going to ask, and I can store dates and names like it's nobody's business. It was never a question of how much I knew, but how many correct answers I got. If I had thought about it, I would have realized that I had forgotten most of what I 'learned' three months or a semester later. But I never thought about my education. Why would I?

Mark C. Carnes, Minds on Fire: How Role-Immersion Games Transform College
