A learning guide for everyone. The authors explain their scientifically based learning techniques in an understandable and easily comprehensible manner using examples. In addition to the techniques, they address motivation and other emerging issues. Many real learning situations (e.g., exams, tests, high school graduation) demonstrate how readers can individually adapt and implement the described techniques. A learning compass assigns each learning technique to the corresponding requirement and directs readers straight to the relevant section of the text. Learn how to develop your own learning techniques for new material and solve motivation problems. Plus: chapters on learning products and aids available on the internet.
