Hmm, I never heard of that guy. I was there from 75-79.
Doing the homework was how I learned the material. Things came too thick and fast during lecture to learn it, it was all I could do to keep up taking notes.
I discovered that if I knew how to solve all the homework problems front to back, I'd do ok on the exams. I also rarely could do the homework without some help from other students, who were always happy to coach me through my difficulties. Having a "troll" session with your friends to work through the homework was commonplace, followed by a "wretch" session with the TA for the stuff none of us could figure out :-)
