I agree with what you have included in your lecture summary,but I think there are some things missing. I think the main pointof the class was how the 3 theories fit togetherBut overall it helped me study for the exam. Thank you!I’m glad it helped. And thanks for your feedback! I would also checkout John’s notes on how the 3rd theory actually disproves the 1st

What students are saying… “It’s nice to see the styles other students use when taking notes. It shows me what is effective and how I can incorporate better note-taking techniques into my own studying.” – University of Wisconsin Student “GradeGuru has helped me maintain my grades because of the notes and tools I can use to study for an exam.” – Penn State Student “Sharing my notes has improved my student habits and the incentive is a great motivator for keeping up with class.” – Bowling Green State University StudentStudents from 1,400 universities have already signed up for GradeGuru.
