Review
From ForeWord Reviews
The message is front and center in this book -- Krasnic wants his students to be successful. Krasnic promotes a study strategy that efficiently organizes and connects information. His method is supported by research in psychology. Krasnic instructs students to make use of visual maps, thereby actively engaging with subject material. This learning technique is complemented, in the second half of this manual, by thirteen skills that Krasnic associates with success in school and college. It’s a quick read with some valuable takeaways. Concise Learning is bound for many bookshelves.
