I hope you guys can get something out of this PR course, because i barely couldn't (only the skimming techniques were found useful by me).
Really, they have some nice skimming techniques, but after a lot of experiment i found the PhotoReading step (at least IMO) to be a big scam.
The worst is that it's impossible to prove otherwise or to prove it to be true, just like religions, if you practice it you believe it, if you don't, you don't believe it, and none of both can prove it to the other that they're right.
Follows a study done by NASA itself to see if the PR course really did yeld benefits to reading, because they wanted to implement it so their engineers, scientists, and the rest of the staff could be more effective.
Not surprisingly (to me), NASA came to the conclusion that the PR technique doesn't work. A person using PR actually takes
more time to reading in order to comprehend as much as someone reading normally (we're not talking about skimming techniques here, which are the only useful thing i found in Paul Scheele's PR course).
