Quote of the Week: "The essence of this research demonstrates the need for students to revisit information, in order to kick the information out of the short-term memory and store it in the much more reliable long-term memory.  This is the power of Cornell Notes, because it primarily focuses on how we process the information rather than simply a method of recording the information."  -Hermann Ebbinghaus
