Thoughts from the readings:- Changing one variable changes performance. We're not tapping into potential.
- Teacher attitude - teachers not confident in student abilities. Excellent teachers take personal responsibility for the success of their students. Is excellence the goal?
- Reinventing the past... why no progress?
- Regression to what's easy/practical - creativity, more time-consuming, but most powerful. BECOME.
- Engaging Learning- "Hard Fun." The human organ is a learning machine. Something happens b/w Kindergarten and 4th Grade, making learning "hard," "painful," "arduous," or "frustrating." There is no intrinsic reward for learning.
- Econ 110- "Satisficing"- Utility maximization- you will do as much as possible to get as much utility as possible. Butt you will also conserve your resources so you can produce more.
- Prisoners of Time- You can hold time constant and let learning vary. (K-12) Hold learning constant and let timing vary (Montessori)

- Juniors and Seniors doing better in Freshman-level courses than Freshman: Enculturing oneself into the BYU way of learning - Learn how to survive "the system." Very un-even success strategies for that class.
- The Five-Minute University
