About the author

I teach Classics and Celtic studies at Luther College in the beautiful little town of Decorah, Iowa. I did my doctoral work at Harvard and taught at Boston University and Washington University in St. Louis before coming to Luther to help run the Classics department. I love teaching and see my writing as an extension of my work in the classroom. I hope you enjoy the books as much as I enjoyed writing them.

Pretty good. I found other books we've been reading to be better on study skills, but this one is really good for discussing the professor's take on things--what they think of students, how to annoy them, how to get along well with them, how to get them to help you and write terrific recommendation letters . . . :-) Very useful.

My first foray into help books on university preparation. This certainly helped to dispel most of my nerves and trepidation with much insider's information about university structure and surviving in it - from a rare professor's viewpoint.

I wish I had this when I went to college. My kids will be going off with it when they go!
