Resumen de Re-Cycling

Robert W. Brown, Corbin E. Covault

• An old comedy routine on Saturday Night Live by Father Guido Sarducci introduced a “Five-Minute University,” because five minutes is all that's remembered after graduation anyway. In counterpoint, we discuss “cycling,” a teaching method for memory enhancement. Our principal implementation consists of offering a simple version of a given course in the first third of the semester, a deeper and more integrated version in the second third, and the final, targeted version in the last third. We describe the benefits and challenges in this tale from the trenches.
