Most "how to learn" books focus only on study techniques. However,
knowing these study techniques doesn't guarantee they will be
successfully implemented. Based on Professor Kamei's popular
undergraduate course at the National University of Singapore, the author
shares his unique perspective as an educator and physician to provide a
strategic approach to learning that will benefit all students looking to
optimize their learning.
His extensive experience with helping students with their studies has
identified a wide variety of reasons why they were not learning
properly. What throws many learners off is that they hold certain myths
that result in poor study habits. Learners who understand the truth
behind these myths can use this knowledge to better plan their study and
have an advantage over others that don't.
Furthermore, modifying your study methods won't make much difference if
you are too sleepy to learn or lack the motivation and self-discipline
to pick up a book. These foundational aspects of learning also need to
be solidly in place. This book takes learners through the author's
holistic method to help students learn better and meet whatever learning
challenges they face.
Learners of all ages who wish to optimize their learning will benefit
from this book, as well as educators seeking an approach to help their
students learn better.
