In Calculus we just had to memorize a whole bunch of patterns, and be very good at rearranging polynomials (to a certain pattern) so we could solve an integral. Differential Equations was also about memorizing patterns to solve the differential equations. Physics was largely about memorizing formulas, and knowing which formulas to use in which situation. At least that's what I remember..
that pretty much sums it...
