- "The results were extremely gratifying. Not only did the students understand the lessons better and more easily, but they seemed to have fun in class. This is no small part of successful education, (especially with underachievers), as any teacher knows. I must say that the analytic approach can be used no only for any subject in the high schools, but also at any level."
- "Even though the students had no first-hand knowledge of this topic, they were readily able to have a class discussion based upon their ability to write a subject matter display and narrative. Students are finding no difficulty in writing display or a narrative even though the material is on a topic they have no prior knowledge of."
- "One of the barriers between minority students and their success in math and science is linguistic interference. Their (analytic) narratives represented the first clearly written, logical sentences I have seen."
- "Students who in the past have not experienced success are having it now."
- "The academic makeup of my class varies, but all students were able to do an analytic subject matter display and write a narrative at the end of the lesson."
- "Students who had never participated before were now taking part in class discussion... … more communicative in class ... Class participation has steadily increased"
- "Many students volunteered; I observed a larger number of participants than in similar classes taught in the traditional way." (An Assistant Principal's Evaluation of a teacher's Cognitive - Analytic lesson)
- "Students were required to think, not only perform. Their enthusiasm was gratifying."
- "It is now the end of the term and the performance of my class has steadily improved throughout the term. The only difference in the curriculum this term has been the introduction of the Cognitive - Analytic learning method."
