Mechanical learning method (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rote

'mechanical learning method' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for rote that I've seen before include "Repetition from memory" , "Habitual routine" , "Mechanical procedure" , "Repetition of something to be learned" , "mindless activity?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal, the USA Today and the LA Times.
