Are You Smarter Than the Average Bear?

If you are not smarter than Yogi, we have some ideas to help. Your goals are our goals.


In my years and years of instructing on many topics, I have learned one thing. One of the best methods to understand any subject is to teach a class on the topic to knowledgeable students. So find some students and start talking. However, most people do not get this opportunity. So, second best, take an exam concerning the topic. You quickly discover what you don't know and what you do know. saves a lot of time. And when you miss a question and read the correct answer, you will remember that answer longer. You have made a memory.


In the past weeks, I have written emails with exams, including DRE Trust Fund Rules and California Security Deposits. Check them out. With no humility, good stuff.


Today, the exam is from an email I wrote in 2002, and nothing has changed. The topic is California Agency Law, California Civil Code Sections 2079.12 through 2079.24.


We are not talking about Buyer-Broker Agreements. That is another topic for another day.


Keep reading, and I'll keep writing. Comments are sincerely appreciated. See you around town.
