    I was in grad school when I realized I didn’t know how to learn. I skated in high school and college, though looking back, some of those higher level classes in college should have been a sign that there was a problem, but I pulled it off with reasonably good grades.

    It was a year or so into grad school before I realized I needed to learn this stuff without relying on the professor. I graduated, but not by much.

      I had a similar problem - the only college courses I didn’t ace were ones I didn’t show up to - and dropped out of grad skool after it kicked my ass for a year.
