Format:Taschenbuch
The large number five-star ratings this book has been given on Amazon US are well-deserved. It describes in an orderly, organized way what top students have learned about making good grades without becoming a joyless grind. Over many years as a writer, I've stumbled into most of the techniques he discussed, but I wish oh-so-much that someone had given me this book as I started college. High schools should use it as a textbook in classes for college-bound seniors.
That said, I have two suggestions.
First, this book was written to be useful for a long time. Other than a passing mention of Google, there's little here that wouldn't have been applicable ten years ago or ten years from now. That's good writing. Who wants to revise a book every few years? But in the here-and-now, some time-specific advice is helpful. Here are three that came to me as I read.
1. If you have an iPhone, an iPod touch, or a similar device with you all the time, use it to capture thoughts. Get one of the note applications, create a document for each assignment, and copy down ideas as they come to you. Keep it beside your bed, so you can take down ideas that come in the middle of the night. Don't trust your memory.
2. Near the end, he suggests going a lonely place and reading your paper aloud as a way to catch grammatical errors and poorly worded sentences. There's an easier approach that will probably let you catch more errors and is less tiring. Use the text-to-speech function of your computer to have it read your paper to you. Hearing will cause you to catch mistakes you won't see when reading
3. Remember that Microsoft Word isn't the best writing tool out there. There are applications specifically designed to make the drafting, outlining and writing process much easier. On my Mac, I use Scrivener and love it. There are similar applications for Windows.
Second, is my frustration with what the book does not say. College should be more than a game to get the credentials to make lots of money. We should be doing more than jumping through hoops and pleasing professors by repeating back their opinions. In the beginning, Cal Newport suggests that the goal of his book should be making good grades easily enough that you have time to party and--yes he said it--get drunk. That's unfortunate. There's more to life than partying and all your hard work in college with come to nothing if you end up a drunk. Look for ways to make the time you save more constructive. Study topics that interest you even though they're not part of the course work. And last but not least, get involved in activities other than partying.
In short, remember, there's more to college than making straight A's.
--Michael W. Perry, Untangling Tolkien: A Chronology and Commentary for The Lord of the Rings

Cal Newport (hat auch einen hervorragenden Blog: study hacks) schreibt über Lernen - und zwar über die reale Welt. Nicht dämliche Tipps über den richtigen Winkel der Schreibtischlampe, sondern darüber, wie man sich zwingt, sich hinzusetzen, wie man es schafft, mit wenig Aufwand gute Noten zu bekommen.

Format:Kindle Edition
Mir gefällt das Buch von Cal Newport sehr gut. Es ist einfach zu lesen und eignet sich auch gut als Bettlektüre. Allerdings sind die Tipps für Naturwissenschaften und Ingenieurwesen zum Teil ungeeignet, für den geisteswissenschaftlichen Bereich kann das Buch aber ein guter Einstieg sein, um seine eigene Studienleistung zu verbessern.
