Partial CreditLife Does NOT Give Partial Credit

Take Notes!“95% of what you hear is forgotten within 72 hours.”
“90% of what you hear is forgotten a few days later.“
“50% of what you hear is forgotten within 60 seconds.”
“After 8 hours, your mind won't recall the details of half of your conversations.”
“66% of what you hear is forgotten in one day.”
The more you become engaged in the class,
the more you will remember and get out of it.
