Join 📚 Fabien's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Fabien's read, .
Deconstruction: How small can I break things down into their basic units of learning, such as individual vocabulary words or grammatical rules? Selection: What are the 20 percent of those units that will give me 80 percent of the benefits (Pareto’s Principle)? Sequencing: What is the best order in which to learn these units? Stakes: How can I use psychology or social pressure to condense my timelines and push myself to learn faster?
The Only Skill That Matters

This sophomore group, in contrast, was looking at the feedback they were getting and thinking hard about it. They were processing what they had seen in others’ work and trying to figure out how to apply it to their own. They were given the space to do it and an incentive to keep working, which heightened their motivation. When I’d taught, my students felt the grade I’d given described them. But this sophomore class understood the score described only their level of performance on a specific skill at that particular time. If they didn’t like it, they had the ability to change it.
