Chapter 7: Advice for Teachers from High School Students

The part of this chapter that jumps out is where the students say to avoid using the textbooks, or to relate the information to something in the real world.

Although textbooks contain more information in one place than any other source, they are excrusiatingly boring, even in college. The exact same information can be presented in articles, videos, or novels and be so much more interesting. Students will learn so much more if the information is presented in an engaging way.
