MAKING GOOD GRADES - EVEN STRAIGHT A'S - is a fine goal if that's what you want or need, but too many students memorize facts, do well on exams, and then seem to forget everything. What a terrible waste of time, effort and money.

The goal of this book is to encourage students to

• CHOOSE DEEP UNDERSTANDING AND LASTING MEMORY
