The Carleton Method

The Carleton method refers to a Canadian studying technique where you overload your intermediate-term memory with course knowledge shortly before the final exam. The technique was developed and perfected by uOttawa Law student Matthew Hradecky while he was an Undergraduate student at Carleton University. The method was accidentally discovered when asynchronous online courses were offered during the Covid-19 pandemic, and Hradecky watched 12 consecutive three-hour lectures on 2x speed (for the first time) just 2 days before the final exam. This resulted in Hradecky receiving a perfect 100% on the exam. This method can been continually improved since its inception in 2020, and adapted to a non-virtual learning environment.

The Carleton method is best employed in 2025 by attending classes and taking no notes, and then completing all the readings start to finish within 48 hours of the final exam.

NPC: Hey man, can I borrow your class notes? I broke my wrist and was not able to take any this semester
Valedictorian: Notes? HA. I use the Carleton method and have not taken any notes since Grade 12. Better hope you can still open the textbook limpy
