Lectures are worthless (Score 1)

Learning only comes when there is someone with a whip next to you. The sense of dread that stems from impending tests and the camaraderie of competition are what drive learning. Myself and every other 4.0 student in my life do not have sufficient will power to self-study a topic to a reasonable degree. I tend to jump from topic to topic and assume I have knowledge where I do not, this does not stem from a lack of spent time but rather from the burnt out of pushing ones self to their own pace.

This requires only a system of punishment to be implemented and a ranking system with attached rewards. If the punishment were monetary, this money could be implemented to create the reward system.
