Very few professors, when asked, would admit it was unlikely that all of the information would be useful or more than just padded pandering, and I received surprised reactions from both views (professors who were surprised I was trying to read everything and didn’t skim/read selectively already, and professors who took surprise from my disinterest to read the mountains of material they unceremoniously dumped on us without emphasizing what parts to pay attention to/learn from).
