Word for the Day: Monday, September 28, 2015

The Word for Today (Monday) is Experimentation. So how does this couple with Retention (our Theme)? I finished High School, and started College, with a Chemistry Major. (But then, got so interested in computers, that I dropped Chemistry. But that's another story). I liked High School chemistry much better than College [Inorganic] Chemistry because, in High School, we did our own experiments most of the time (and only occasionally, would the teacher "demonstrate"). This switched in College, where there were only a few actual "student run experiments". My observation is that I retained what I learned MUCH better in High School, when I was the one "manipulating the glassware".
