Grades Column Gets an 'A'

Corinne Funk's Nov. 19 column "How to Get Good Grades," deserves an "A." Getting excited about a course or paper; taking charge and reading, writing or creating with synthesis and gusto; feeling empowered to go beyond the bounds of the assignment to integrate and think--this is what learning is about. How ironic that it is often when one becomes less concerned about grades and more concerned about learning that better grades ensue. --Robert Read, Ed.D.,   Psychologist,   Bureau of Study Counsel
