Evidence / Feedback Steve
“I love the learning hacks. They are fun and entertaining. The students are engaged and seem to enjoy learning.” "The fun nature of learning hacks had my students engaged, laughing and learning. Students are used to many traditional, textbook-based methods of learning, so when the learning takes an unexpected turn, it grabs their attention and keeps them watching for more like a great suspense novel. They wonder what will happen next and that wonder keeps their minds focused while delivering new ideas or cementing grammar rules into their minds." Steve Faith King Patient Care Instructor Kelly Van Der Kley Print Media Instructor

This helps students engage and remember the info on writing in the mini- lessons.” Robert Anderson Polymer Tech Instructor “I feel like the Learning Hacks on condensed writing really helped me become a better writer. I learned how to be less wordy, more focused, and to the point.” Metta Agriculture & Natural Resources student
