I read to apply this and see a big change in my test scores as well as my overall grades.

Thank you for making this information available. I find it a refreshing way to view student learning behaviors to supplement learning styles. I learned about this diagram from a professional development activity on campus, which has led me to the website where I have learned much more about the idea of putting more energy into the middle student population rather than so much focus on the lower and upper ends. Keep up the good work.

Comment on A Conversation (with Students) About a Deep Learning Experience by Suzanne

After seeing the video, I feel this program is incredibly useful for those students who utilize its services. Many times, the information needed to answer a question or to complete work adequately is just not clicking. All these students need is a little support and perhaps a push in the right direction and the light bulb will go off. Witnessing this process is an amazing experience. Bravo, Leonard, for having this program available to the students.

This was a very well organized and informative blog. In all of my years of studying, I never considered actually diving into the subject, I was only taught to memorize facts. Although memorizing facts are helpful, doing this alone is impossible for just about any college student to do while maintaining A’s at the same time. Aside from just memorizing, students have to really “know” what the subject is talking about. We cannot just read the words off of the page, but we need to truly understand what the text is saying.
