Lesson for the day, Wednesday, October 20

Good Morning,

I'm sure there is something for everyone as we look at learning and memory. There are three articles I'd like you to read. They're all pretty short and they're all about learning. Be sure to keep your comments about them to 15 lines. When you are finished, please spend the time working on something else.

Here are the links and have a good day. See you Thursday.

How do you learn?

From reading your responses here are some observations that I'd like you to address in your response:
- is memorizing the same as learning?
- should you have a good idea of how you learn?
- are some people born with certain talents and abilities?
- what does the statement "D's get degrees" mean versus the idea that requirements set benchmarks for acceptance?
