Customer Reviews

Meta-Learning

We purchased this book for our homeschool in order to teach study skills. The book is VERY comprehensive and extremely informative. Very high quality learning resource. Unfortunately, we found that this book was quite difficult to locate. It seems to be out of print. If you find a copy, jump on it before it's gone!

Excellent study tips for traditional subjects

This book focusses on showing students how to learn course material well, and become an "expert" on the subject. Not only will a new wave of knowledge fill your mind, but also the satisfaction of getting good grades. The methods described in this book are especially effective for subjects such as History, Physics, Chemistry, and most high school subjects excluding math. The book does have a math section, but I feel that the advice it gives on the subject does not cut it. Other than that minor point, this book is an excellent read for high school and college students. Some of the topics covered in this book are: Memorization, Mind mapping, Note taking, Expert Questions, and a few other skill sets that will bring you on your way to a successful school career. With the helpful tips mentioned in this book, I was able to increase my already high mark by 5%! I am sure that any student willing to try the methods in this book will surely find the same success and more!
