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!

Nuance is “a subtle distinction or variation.” Effective communication between people that are joined by a mutual endeavor can ensure progress in whatever group we are involved in—Greek groups, student government, the campus or community at large. In order to have that effective communication, we have to do the work of nuance, or said another way, recognizing (and even embracing) our differences.
