- Barzun's Laws of Learning
-
- The simple but difficult arts of paying attention,
-
- copying accurately, following an argument, detecting an
-
- ambiguity or a false inference, testing guesses by summoning
-
- up contrary instances, organizing one's time and one's
-
- thought for study -- all these arts -- cannot be taught in
-
- the air but only through the difficulties of a defined
-
- subject.
-
- They cannot be taught in one course or one year, but
-
- must be acquired gradually in dozens of connections.
