How to Fail at College [Hardcover]

Stephen Anthony Jeffrey (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Keep it simple stupid. That's what they taught me at college. Simplify the problem. Complicate the problem. Draw an obscure diagram. Simple advice but good advice.

But you don't believe you are stupid. You are angry that somebody called you stupid. You may be just the right person for this book. Because a smart man acknowledges that he really knows very little. Because he wants to read every book in the library. And there is so little time. So you are like that. You don't really need this book.

It is the guy who doesn't want to be called stupid that will need it. You will learn how smart kids think about college and the tricks they use. And the ones they don't. It is all about college in the 1980's before the Internet. Because study is something you can learn without complicating it by using a computer. Learn all the mistakes you could possibly make and how to avoid making them.
