Personal Review: How to Become a Straight-A Student: The
Unconventional Strategies Real College Students Use to Score
High While Studying Less by Cal Newport
I am a financial consultant that works with parents (with a high school
student) to reduce their college expenses and assist them with helping
their student create the best college experience possible. I found a
recommendation for this book on an education blog and ordered it to see if
it might serve as an appropriate gift for the students I work with.
I have a son who is starting his sophomore year in college. He was home
this summer so I thought he could serve as the perfect reviewer. (Just to
give you a little background, my son is a very strong student that is very
organized and feels he has developed good study skills. Yet he admitted
that he found the coursework at college to be very different than in high
school and that he was caught off guard during his first freshman
semester.)
I asked him to read the book and let me know if the author's tips would be
helpful to him or other students. As he read, he made various marks in the
book to indicate where various pieces of advice given is relevant and
helpful. Once he had finished reading the book I went through it and boy
did it have lots of marks noted throughout! He highly recommends the
book and believes it will greatly assist him with his studies in the coming
year. He feels the book would be most helpful to students once they
complete their first semester in college. He believes this because until
students have experienced classwork at the college level, they will not be
able to relate to the material nearly as well since the author shares so
much about his personal academic experiences. Having already
completed his freshman year, my son said he could totally relate to many
of the examples the author cited, which helped make the author's
suggestions more credible to him. My son is typically a tough reviewer, so
his enthusiastic endorsement of this book confirms for me that it will serve
to be a great gift for the students I work with.
