During my undergraduate days, while studying psychology, I did a very similar thing. But back then I binge studied. As I was studying part time, while holding down a full time job, I had to develop some special strategies not just to avoid falling behind. I wouldn't recommend this form of study to just anyone.

This entire approach is reminiscent of the Computer Assisted Learning (CAL) programs of the 1980s, where students worked their way through a linear course of study, interspersed with quizzes and questions to test what they could remember, and a remedial loop to send them back to ''relearn'' if they didn''t make the grade.
