My son Andy has been struggling through one of those classes with a mind numbingly boring textbook. Hey, you know they exist.
Thankfully he understands the importance of reading and retaining the material whether or not he’s interested in it.

Rather than repeat it all, I’ll refer you here, where I explain it in detail.
