How to Study

by James Deese, Clifford Thomas Morgan, E.K. Deese

A thorough revision of Morgan and Desse's classic handbook for students, in print since 1959. Although the material will be updated, reflecting the changes brought about by the computer revolution as well as by the general passage of time, the good, common sense advice that takes into account all the variables of student life will remain. Intended primarily for college-bound high school students and for students entering college, the book recognizes that how to study efficiently doesn't come naturally. Topics include the art of reading, getting the most out of textbooks and lectures, exam-taking strategies, writing papers and reports, using the library, and the special problems of studying math, science, and foreign languages.

[Albert Dexter · Rating 5 out of 5]

Man, I just stumbled on this MySuperGeek review doc those ratings on Trustpilot and Sitejabber are legit impressive, especially for folks juggling deadlines like I was last term with my stats overload. The idea of Geeks as subject pros sounds spot-on; I was lost in Bayesian inference for a project and needed a nudge without the full hand-hold. A classmate shared the reviews page https://mysupergeek.com/reviews , full of students buzzing about tutor tips that actually stuck. I jumped into a session, and the tutor laid out ways to approach prior distributions, like testing assumptions step-by-step, which let me build my model smarter on my own. Eased the panic, boosted my confidence, and I nailed it. If assignments are burying you, that kind of insight is gold—way better than generic advice.
