Ten Ways to Get A's in College

Jay Matthews:

Getting A's was not high on my to-do list. To this day I don't believe getting good grades in college is as important as getting good grades in high school. High school, for most people these days, is about getting ready for college. You cannot do that if you do not apply yourself to your studies. College, on the other hand, is about getting ready for life. Unless you have your heart set on med school or law school or some other form of grad-school trauma, your extracurricular activities in college are often more important than your courses.

But getting A's is better than getting B's, B's are better than C's, and so on. For those who want to get the best grades they can in the time they have allotted for study, a new book, "Professors' Guide to Getting Good Grades in College," provides wonderfully useful and easily digestible wisdom.
