Extremely basic info. While I enjoyed the first couple of chapters the later chapters were extremely frustrating as I felt that we would have to dumb down our classes in work and expectations for this generation of learners as they have not learned basic skills yet which by the time they get to college they should have learned. Also the authors said they wrote this book based on two studies they did that was it. 2 studies. Now I haven’t gone and looked at those studies to see how many participants they had but two studies just doesn’t seem like enough.
