Summary

Self-Testing Techniques explores how self-testing and quizzing boost memory and learning through cognitive science and learning psychology. It reveals that actively retrieving information strengthens memory and combats forgetting, a concept known as the testing effect. The book highlights the importance of spaced repetition, where revisiting material at increasing intervals significantly improves long-term retention, akin to gradually reinforcing a mental pathway. This book is unique as it bridges theory and practice, guiding readers on designing effective quizzes and integrating self-testing into study routines. It progresses from introducing core cognitive principles like desirable difficulties to exploring various self-testing methods, such as flashcards and practice questions, and demonstrates how these techniques can be applied in diverse learning contexts. Ultimately, consistent self-testing enhances academic performance and builds confidence, making it an invaluable resource for students and educators alike.

Billion-Dollar Ball - A Journey...

Gilbert M. Gaul

A hard-hitting examination of the many ways college football has been transformed into a money-making spectacle that is hurting higher education In the spring of 2013 a study showed that despite huge economic problems, twenty-seven states were awarding their highest salaries to college football coaches. College football has doubled in size in the last decade, thanks to generous tax breaks, lavish TV deals, and corporate sponsors eager to slap their logos on everything from scoreboards to footballs and uniforms. In one recent year the ten biggest programs took in $800 million from football, with profit margins far surpassing those of Fortune 500 companies. Little of this money goes to academics. Instead, it sustains a wildly profligate infrastructure of coaches, trainers, marketing gurus, tutors, and a growing cadre of athletic department bureaucrats whose sole purpose is to ensure that players remain academically eligible to play. In The Department of Football, two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Gilbert M. Gaul offers a surprising, incendiary examination of how college football has come to dominate some of our best, most prestigious universities, reframing campus values, distorting academic missions, and transforming athletic departments into astonishingly rich entertainment factories.

DEI Exposed - How the Biggest...

Stanley K. Ridgley, PhD

DEI Exposed puts the spotlight on a Big Con: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
DEI gurus siphoned funds for education into social engineering programs. They suckered and swindled some of the smartest people in the U.S., cost universities dearly in terms of funds and reputation, and ruined the livelihoods of countless faculty members.
DEI has fueled antisemitism on college campuses and, ironically, robbed many students of fair treatment and freedom of speech-two things DEI advocates supposedly champion.
How did the hustlers pull it off?
This book documents the dubious credentials of DEI superstars, the use of cult conversion tactics on students, the cultivation of campus informants to instill fear and suspicion, and the lawsuits that reveal DEI's virulent racialism at a high cost to universities in bad publicity and legal damages.
DEI Exposed maps this corruption so that we can chart a course for a restoration of higher education for years to come.
Ridgley reveals the striking contradictions between DEI's stated aims and its practical effects.
- Ram Mudambi, Frank M. Speakman Professor of Strategy, Fox School of Business, Temple University
The DEI monster has continually sprouted new tentacles, and Ridgley has given us an account of how it came to be its lurid self.
- Bruce Gilley, author of The Case for Colonialism
With razor-sharp analysis, Ridgley dissects how higher education compromised itself, abandoning merit and intellectual vigor in favor of pseudoscience and ideological conformity.
- Nicholas Giordano, Professor of Political Science and host of The P.A.S. Report Podcast
Dr. Stanley K. Ridgley is Clinical Full Professor of Strategic Management at Drexel University. He holds a Doctorate and Master's in International Relations and Security from Duke University and an International MBA from Temple University. He is a Russian language linguist and former Military Intelligence Officer.
