“We must find ways to get ourstudents to use and practice overtime the new course material that we ask them to learn. Traditionalmethods of letting students listenpassively to lectures and then use
ashort burst of intensive study tocram for a test ...does not result instudents forming new neuralnetworks” (p. 19).

LCT: Putting the Research in Learning into Practice
“By definition, a teaching approachthat allows for cramming fails tomeet the definition of learning.
Cramming results in a hollow victory for students. They often earn a passing grade but they are unable to recall or use most of the information even a week later” (Bjor, 1994; Ebbinghaus,
1913) (p. 20).
