Great story - this is the best way to learn. I was much older than Kit when I was at University getting similarly involved. Not contend with just slavishly absorbing what was presented, I used the lesson plan to study ahead and do my own research before class. While everyone was taking notes, I had exchanges with my professors that sometimes enriched the subject, and sometimes contradicted what was being taught.
The Department Chair (who is still a good friend after all these years) was so impressed, he appointed me to the STP (Salary, Tenure, Promotions) Committee in my last year.
