Learning and Education

Today I done a thing that can proud with me but not my parents. I refused to study "Ethics and Professional Conduct" before my examination, and of course, I did badly on the examination. I kind of sad that I didn't give any effort on this exam, I gave myself an excuse: "This crap is not worth for my brain to memorize it!". And sorry to my parents, I didn't do my best. :(

I proud on me is because I starting to know how to differentiate what is really worth for me and my future.

-Learning and Education.

Well, this really a question for me as a university student. Am I study or learning? Am I understanding or memorizing? Am I do what I should do for the "A" on the exam or what I want to do for my future? 

Some people think came out from an university with a certificate especially with high CGPA will lead them to good life. Indeed, company nowadays mostly will depend on your certificate in order to consider hire you. And this lead you go to university and study like mad to get a good result. On the meantime, you will lost what you really want to do on your university life.

Some school/university have the subject called Critical Thinking, Human Development, Ethics and Professional Conduct and etc. Those subjects will have boring lecture because all in the class teach you memorize thing, for instance, "The definition of moral is ... ", "James Moor defines ... " and etc. Are student really want to remember this so that can become a ethical, critical thinking person?
