academic bulimia

Noun: an approach employed for test taking in academic settings in which students memorize, often through cramming, answers to expected questions, then purge said answers on to a test, only to never again recall that information.
Teacher: Use this study guide to prepare for the essay test.
Students: Essay test? Can we just have a multiple guess test?
Teacher: No, I want you to actually learn this, academic bulimia won't help you here.
