Learning Is A Skill that Has To Be Learned
Learning Is A Skill that Has To Be Learned
Back in 1975, my Dad wrote this book which was a collection of learning techniques that he taught to his students at the beginning of each semester. He found it interesting that schools never taught students how to study. This is particularly important at the university level, where instructors may be experts in their fields, but have no knowledge about teaching.
My brothers and I re-introduced this book on Amazon a couple of years ago and it has done very well in the U.K. Market and in Italy, in the Italian translation. The U.S. market has been slow to receive it, however.
If you are interested in some learning methods to reduce study time and increase retention, give this book a read! Using these methods in our immediate family produced two doctors and one Chief of Police.
It can be found on Amazon in the U.S. at this link: (How to Study) or here in the U.K. (How to Study)

STOPUSA comments version look a bit FAKE. People could distrust about this lot.
Well, they are what they are; we've never prompted anyone to write a review or rate the book - either favorably or unfavorably. We've never even seriously promoted the book, at all. There are many more reviews on goodreads.com and on Amazon UK that are as favorable as the few that are in the U.S. market. In fact, the book was the Number One Best Seller in 2 categories for almost 2 and a half years in the UK and about a year in Italy.
Even the most critical reviews were honest and had something positive to say. (Except for one Italian who hated it but didn't say why.)
Additionally, the sales and reviews don't reflect those reading in the Kindle Unlimited offer; several hundreds of pages are read per day.
Since we don't have the "influence" that Hillary Clinton has to erase negative reviews, I'd take what is written as honest appraisals.
