"This book should be no more than an arm s length away from the desk of every student starting college. It sets out a systematic five-phase study process, built on the principle that visualizing information makes learning concrete and generates interest. It describes how to organize the material being learned visually. It gives a method for critical thinking, shows how to spot gaps in understanding and fill them, and it does this in a highly motivating and visual style." -ROY GRUBB, principal editor of WikIT, the mind mapping wiki

"Concise Learning is a wonderful tool for teachers and students. The brain remembers visuals and turning short-term memories into long-term memories is what learning is about. Previewing, participating, and processing information engages learners and offers them the information they need to rehearse memories and to retrieve them. [Toni] has done a great job in organizing this book to help us organize our brains for success!" - MARILEE SPRENGER, author of How To Teach So Students Remember
