How to Become a Straight-A Student

Newport is a professor and was a relatively successful student (although he's not unfamiliar with student life), so this book will work best for students who are already on the path to As; nevertheless, there is lots of good material here. I like that he breaks activities into steps that he reviews at the end of each chapter, and that he's aware of what student life is rather than what it should be. I've already started to integrate his preparing for exams chapter into my workshops. It's not groundbreaking – since it reflects what others say – but the advice is sensible and useful.
