b. be self-directed and active in the process of learning.
c. study only what the instructor emphasizes in class.
d. focus on learning 65% of the information that is taught.
ANS: B
Studies have shown that people learn best when they are actively involved in their own learning and have an interdependent relationship with the instructor. Absorbing the knowledge taught by the instructor describes passive learning. Studying only what the instructor emphasizes in class and focusing on learning 65% of the information that is taught are approaches that severely limit learning.
