Yeah, the students that engage and rate the lectures, tutorials, etc aren’t cramming “everything” at 2am before exams and generally fare better in 2nd/3rd year when these strategies get less viable.

Anecdotally, they’re also less likely to get into embarrassing arguments with a lecturer who holds a PhD, because they’ve asked for the 15th time if a particular topic is going to be on the exam and pissed them off.
