I'm not reading that crap! Summarize it in one word...
Referring to: imgur: the simple image sharer
Twitter, Reddit, Tumblr, and Facebook have created an Internet full of people who want one word summaries.
tl;dr of this image is tl;dr ... How's that for self reference?
Often? Always!!
The subject made no difference: in all cases, the summaries worked better. When students were given the same amount of time with each—twenty to thirty minutes—they learned more from the summaries than they did from the chapters. This was true whether the students were tested twenty minutes after they read the material or one year later. In either case, those who read the summaries recalled more than those who read the chapters.
