Editorials

From Barnes & Noble

Many college students never really left high school: They still live by notions about grading that might have been valid in those pre-diploma days but aren't true now. This inviting paperback original serves as a wake-up call for any student who still thinks that "superior effort equals superior grades" or "grades are just subjective markers." Professor Lynn Jacobs and Jeremy Hyman draw on their classroom experiences to tell students what they need to know to achieve good grades. Their approach is pragmatic: Professors' Guide to Getting Good Grades in College includes hints on picking courses with an eye to grade; a top ten list of tips to taking excellent lecture notes; strategies for test preparation and test taking; and suggestions for maintaining motivation.
