I tried to combine the relevant research on learning with good design and preparation techniques. I’d love some feedback on how successful I was in doing that and creating a useful book.

CogSci: Stephanie, thanks for your comments and your book recommendation. I’m looking forward to checking it out.

Kevin: Uh, wow, Kevin Eikenberry commented on my blog. OK everyone, if you’re not reading Kevin’s blog go check him out. Kevin, your “ 26 Remarkable Questions” was an amazing way to start the year. Thanks for giving it away!
