Here's a starting point:

Others echo what he says, but I'm open to reading any studies suggesting otherwise! :)
Corran,
I would suggest that your need to get your hands dirty simply suggests that the things you are learning involve getting your hands dirty - the referenced article alludes to matching the learning approach with the content.

Another example was a tough class with a lot of reading. I read while walking a 1/2 mile to the class and for some reason retained more than I have ever done in a heavy reading class, which I was never good at. Anecdotal I know, but there it is.

Again, for those of you that have any interest at all, the two books I referenced initially are both enjoyable and informative. (And both are based on research.)
OK, I'll let it go now. :D

I enjoy teaching in a collegiate setting much more.
Wrong thread???

Naw, its just a derailment started by Stone's learning Russian comment, resulting in a twenty comment pileup on the internet superhighway!
Off topic comments in the right thread tend to keep me paying attention, No one knows if I'm learning anything, or how.

Oh, I wasn't complaining. I'm just too weak-minded to understand the joke.:)

And did you read the article?

Re: Large Format Landscapes
Things are getting diluted by talk. More shooting/printing/scanning!
I made this photo last month on ektascan b/ra and shared it. https://www.flickr.com/photos/13759696@N02/17009513055/
Getting around to making contact sheets to file with the negatives last night. I was real pleased with the contact print for this, so I made a couple solarized variations, this being my favorite. I put the overhead light on for about 2s while it was about 1/3 developed in the dektol. 8x10 seagull rc vc paper.
