I think this is poorly implemented due to essentially how most people tackle university.

I took engineering in University and I know if this was a course I had to take, my friends and I would take turns going to class, share notes, I would write whatever paper or what ever would be required, get my grade, and forget everything from the class.

Not because of the course material, but because it has nothing to do with my degree and is only a grade I need to graduate. Much like the English class, and a couple electives I had to take these were simply means to an end.

As others have noted I think it is better served in k-12 schooling.
