Straight A's Are Not Enough by Judy Fishel

Making good grades - even straight A's - is a fine goal if that's what you need or want, but far too many straight A students memorize facts, do well on exams, and then soon forget everything. What a terrible waste of time, effort and money! In this book, you will discover strategies for Flexible Time Management, Research-based learning strategies, Test preparation without cramming, Mental Processing - a new more effective definition of study, and Strategies to develop thinking skills, long-lasting memory, and deeper concentration. In addition, the book includes a section on what employers want most with chapters on critical thinking, analytical reasoning, and complex problem solving. This book is radically different from other books on study skills. It can empower students to choose what they want or need to learn and take to charge of their own education. They might even re-discover the excitement of learning.
