Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Effective Notetaking
F. M. McPherson · 2018
68/100
👎 Skip It
McPherson brings real cognitive-psychology credentials to this workbook, and it goes deeper than most study guides by grounding technique in actual memory research. Still a niche classroom workbook rather than a book you'd hand a friend, but a cut above the pack here.
