I really enjoyed the book and only wish I could’ve read it before second-semester senior year!”– Christen Martosella, editor-in-chief, The Insider’s Guide to the Colleges 2007″The authors really understand the problems of undergraduates and the expectations of professors. The advice they provide is helpfully specific, refreshingly sensible, and right to the point. Any student who follows their recommendations is practically certain to get very good grades.”– Harry G. Frankfurt, author, On Bullshit, and Professor of Philosophy (Emeritus), Princeton University”This book is not just about getting good grades; it’s about getting the most out of your educational opportunities in college. Sure, if you follow the clear and insightful tips that Jacobs and Hyman offer, you will get good grades; but you will also maximize your learning. I wish professors would read this book so they can give away the mysteries to their students.”– Robert J. Gross, Dean, Swarthmore College”Getting good grades in college is not magic. It’s not rocket science. Every student who uses the tips and techniques in this volume is virtually guaranteed a grade increase. Even better, these students will understand their subject matter better, will have better relationships with their professors and fellow students, and will have a set of skills and proficiencies to carry forward to graduate school and professional careers.”– Sharon J. Hamilton, Director, Indiana University Faculty Colloquium on Excellence in Teaching”The Professors’ Guide to Getting Good Grades in College deserves an A+. Who better for students to receive advice on how to be successful students than from professors themselves? Filled with concrete techniques and strategies for earning the best grades possible, students can become efficient learners, spending time on what is important. Practical in approach, this is must reading for any student contemplating going to college and for students who want to learn more and consequently earn better grades.”– Eric R.
