The Prof's way of getting an A the engineer's way

Today a Prof was sharing with us how to get an A, his way.
First u need to read the lecture notes which is obvious.
Second is to do all the tutorials... ok, fair enough.
Lastly is to read from 3 different textbooks for each topic gone through.

I guess most undergrads wouldn't have a problem fulfilling the first 2 requirements(if u can't i think u're in trouble), but the last one is a little hardcore man. 70% of the undergrads would probably read up on certain topics that are really complicated from one textbook. 20% would revise all topics using one textbook, sometimes two is that one wasn't clear enough. The last 10% would have already finish reading one textbook before semester began and used the other one during revision and the 3rd one during exam preparation.

Note: If u belong to that last 10% and u're from the small island nation of Singapore, pls contact us. Our country is proud of you and would like to confer on you the title Geek.
