Well, I understand your position, but the way I see it is this: You spend an entire semester learning a particular thing in each class. By the end of the semester you should have at least gotten the general idea. Maybe even some details. But either way, like you said, you can't learn the entire course the night before. That's why the 'semester' was invented. It's a period of time in which you learn a specific thing.
If you work hard during the semester, you won't have to work as hard the night before a final.
And it's not just memorization... it's understanding. Learning effectively is gaining knowledge as a whole. Once gained, you don't have to worry about losing it.
