    About this ebook

    I hope that this guide was helpful and that you gained insights on learning how to learn.

    At the end of this book, you should be equipped with the basic knowledge of how to be an effective teacher or learner.

    This guide is certainly not an exhaustive discourse on this subject; I advise further research and additional reading to access more information to bolster your knowledge.

      This book gave me insight to how I can conduct my classes. It is good for learning about strategies to learn. It gave me lots of idea. The only complaint I have is some pages were blank. So it's less than the total amount of pages stated.
