Wikipedia definition
3. Cramming (education)In education, cramming (also known as mugging or swotting, from swot, cognate to "sweat", meaning "to study with determination") is the practice of working intensively to absorb large volumes of informational material in short amounts of time. It is often done by students in preparation for upcoming exams. Cramming is often discouraged by educators because the hurried coverage of material tends to result in poor long-term retention of material.
