Summary

Tired of sitting in classes, staying awake, taking notes & cramming for exams to pass a course you couldn't care less about? THE SAVVY STUDENT is the reference source that you've been waiting for! In this insightful handbook, two university professors help you zero in on the psychology of the teacher & use this information to your advantage. At times cynical, provocative, & even subversive, THE SAVVY STUDENT explodes the myth that the grading process is in any way objective, & gives you the practical goods on how you can turn your B into an A. The authors cover all the bases from classroom behavior to out-of-class contact, from finessing an essay to writing a winning exam. They even include advice on mastering long-distance relationships (the correspondence course). Giving you an inside view from two professors who have seen it all, THE SAVVY STUDENT empowers you to make your transcript more enticing to graduate & professional schools without the bothersome fatigue created by working harder.
