Which is the best? "Students have to memorize facts in a rote fashion OR manner OR way."
Which is the best, fashion, manner or way? Thanks.

Teacher Re: Which is the best? I think you can use all, though 'manner' sounds most natural to me.

How about "Students have to learn facts by rote."?
Is this better? Thank you.
