Talmud Bavli Succah on Torah Study in Breadth and Depth

"This is similar to the practice of Rava and Rami bar Chama.  When they would stand before Rav Chisda, they would first run through the Gemara with one another to review the material, and then analyze the material with logic."

-- Talmud Bavli, Succah 29a

This dictum encodes a formula for Torah study: breadth first, then depth.
