I wish I had enough time to cover everything but I don't so I'm gonna pick out kind of the most important things and make sure I get to those

right off the bat. So is it going? Okay, I the red light. I'm gonna ask you a question. I want you to think for a moment and tell me how long would

you estimate the typical college freshman can read material in their book or in their notes and effectively be learning what they're reading.

Okay. 5 minutes says Chris. 25 minutes. Hour. Now, let me ask, anybody think more then an hour? How long? By the way, I had a

guy, last time I did this, he said I can do it about 6 hours. And I just (scoffs). Well then I found out he is a medical resident, just finished

medical school, his wife was in my class and indeed, my daughter's 4th year med, oh yeah 4, 5 hours but that's not typical I can tell you, okay.

Anybody less then 5 minutes? Okay. So we've got 5 to maybe 4 or 5 hours. A study was done, believe the University of Michigan, they asked

students to do the following thing. When you're ready to study, you've got all your materials, you're back in your little dorm room or your place

you live. Check your watch, start working, the moment you feel that sense of I've read it but it's not coming through, and it's like eh I'm

wasting my time, we all get that feeling, note what time it is. Record that, bring it back. And they had many, many hundreds of freshman and

sophomores do this and then somebody took the time to compile it. And typically, right about 25 to 30 minutes. By the way, it's also true of

lectures and you've all proved it to yourself. You come in to a lecture, you're really alert, check the clock at about 25 after it's like...yeah. And I

see it in every class I teach but how long do we teach? 50 minutes. And yet probably most of learning, if it's gonna happen, is in the first 25-30.

Okay. I'm gonna talk about a person cause I also like to teach by anecdote. Woman named Janette. I was a junior at Western, she was a

freshman, because I was a junior I could live off campus, those days, colleges where your parents had abstentia. She had to live in a dorm

cause she didn't have a relative in town. We were dating. She got her first quarter at Western a D average, 1.0, 15 credits of D. She decided

she really needed to buckle down, plus the school said if you don't make it up you're gonna be kicked out. So the second quarter of her freshman

year, she set the following goal, to study for 6 hours a night, non-stop, 6-midnight, Sunday night through Thursday night. Friday, Saturday she

could party, rest of the week she was gonna study. Now one would assume, my gosh going from little study to 6 hours a night, 5 nights

of the week, she should've aced everything. Want to guess her grade point second quarter? 0.0, she failed every class. This is why telling

people to study more is not necessarily help. In some cases it might actually worsen their performance. What I want to do is show you
