On like the very first day of algorithms class there was a table with a bunch of data structures down the side and insert, lookup, delete across the table with a bunch of n's and lg n's in the cells. There was also a table very much like it on the first exam, except the cells were empty.

The sad thing is, I bet a lot of people memorized those instead of learning enough about the data structures to be able to fill out the table on the fly.
