This book is for any student, especially those in high school, college, or in on-the-job training programs. It is also for elementary school children, though the tips should be read and explained by the parents. Most of the tips in this book are not taught in school at all or taught incompletely at best. My job in this book is to tell you how to keep your dreams from being shattered. The rest is up to you. The book not only provides 20 key tips and ideas but does so in a way that models what I am talking about. For example, I could just list the 20 ideas and explain them in any order. But one of the tips explained is the importance of organization. An important aspect of organization is to form learning content into small chunks of related material. Thus, for this book, the ideas are grouped among four themes, each with four to six tips.


1. Attitude and approach
2. Classroom and study behavior
3. Learning principles and processes
4. Lifestyle

Another tip explained in the book is the importance of associat-ing what you want to learn with mental pictures, arrayed in map-like form. For each idea I suggest a relevant mental image you can use as a mnemonic device. If you don't like my choice of image, make up one of your own. Then within each group, I "Tie It All Together" with a composite image map that spatially organizes the images as a single map. This is a very easy and effective way to memorize all 20 tips.

Readers of this book have been highly complementary. See sample on the back cover. I have even had college professors tell me they wished somebody had told them these ideas when they were in school.

Review:

Better Grades Reader Comments

Excellent book! ... lively and interesting throughout. It captures the reader's emotions and manages to keep the reader interested in the book. This book manages to keep you entertained. Several of the teaching methods including the pictures make this a gem to any student or worker. Dr. Klemm's book puts into plain language the current research into brain-based learning that educators are trying to put into practice.... This book is priceless. (Sharon Mitchell)

These are very simple memory techniques that anyone can use. The author, Dr. Klemm, gave me all that I needed to start applying his memory techniques. Easy-to-understand examples, case studies, and stories make this book an enjoyable read while improving on an important skill that we all can use at work, at home or in school. (Health Colonel Publishing)

Different from the others. Better Grades, Less Effort is not mainly about techniques to memorize a list or a speech (although help for that is here, too) -it's about the science underlying good memory techniques: what works and why. The book is organized under twenty valuable tips. This is the cutting-edge of the science of memory for the person who is focused on learning. (Rod Harrington)

.... A concise and compelling read that every high school and college student should read and apply. Dr. Klemm writes in a very readable style, covers each point clearly, includes examples, and includes the relevant research that supports his recommendations. It is information I wish I had known when I was in school, and it is still valuable 40 years later. I highly recommend this book to every student about to start college. It is the perfect graduation gift for any high school senior because the techniques it teaches will help readers learn more effectively in whatever environment they choose next, school or the workplace. This is a 5-star book. (Greg Young).

This e-book consolidates what took me years to discover through studying psychology, neuroscience, biology...too bad I didn't get to read this before my college career, rather than at the end of it. (Mitch)
