I want to include all my efriends from Canada in the celebrations though I’m a few days late for Canada Day: July 1 is Canada Day.

The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar. So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science!
