About this quote
Education has fulfilled little if knowledge never becomes competent action.
When to use it
- Before the next class, use one idea from this week’s reading in a decision, experiment, or finished piece of work.
- Use the same principle on one difficult subject: use one idea from this week’s reading in a decision, experiment, or finished piece of work, then note what changed.
- Try it with a classmate or study group: use one idea from this week’s reading in a decision, experiment, or finished piece of work, and compare the result at the end of the week.
