 Only for school.Mar 15, 2011
By B. E. Neuwirth
"B.E.N."
This was a course textbook. I'm sure this would be a nice, semi-informative (if somewhat dull and uninspiring) textbook for high school freshman and sophomores. For transfer students in university, it's too little too late and a big waste of money. At least on Amazon it was only around $60.

 Not worth a price, an utter disappointment.Nov 12, 2011
By C. Cook
This book was a required text for my "Study Skills 101" class at college. Despite leaving high school with 3.9 and AP credit, I decided that the course and related text might offer some insight into where I could improve or at least understand how to improve my group work and interactions. While the book does offer some good advice it tends to loose focus or ignore details in favor of catering to a more general population.
Do not let the title mislead you, "Becoming a Master Student" offers advice in dealing with all aspects of life, from examinations to time management and health concerns. Unfortunately the book goes so far in doing so that many of the essential chapters for students become diluted and disappointing. While many people would find topics such as "Diversity" and gender relations important, the topic feels almost lackluster without decent case studies or strong discussion to back it up. This feels almost like a kick in the stomach after chapters like "Memory", "Reading", and "Thinking" which hint at interesting topics further ahead, only to leave you hanging.
My biggest concern, however, is that the book just doesn't go that far to promote a deeper understanding of the topics discussed or focus on self improvement. There are plenty of exercises and journals to keep readers involved in each chapter, but the bulk of the text focuses on just expressing an idea or sequence of instructions to the reader. Anyone looking to seriously improve themselves or some aspect of their lives will find themselves spending more time hopping from exercises and activity or discussing/researching topics elsewhere rather than consulting the actual book.
The "nail in the coffin" for me with this book lies in its overall condescending tone. The entire thing is organized in a colorful fashion with plenty of pictures and pretty elements, which while nice comes across as more of a magazine geared at primary school students than anyone above it. Many of my classmates found this annoying and distracting rather than helpful. Even worse, the writing doesn't make it for it. The book assumes readers believe what they're reading is a total waste of time, or that readers are often completely ignorant of subjects. There are quite a few moments where the author wants to do cutesy things, only to be a distraction. One such example being during the introduction, where they have "Hello Author I Agree :)" written, circled, and pointing to an underlined section of their own content made to look like the end user had done it.
Is the book as bad as I would make it out to be? No, but I can't respect it. Anyone who wants to consider this book as a self help tool should just glance at the table of contents and research the topics on the internet, you'll get just as much if not more help than the book would provide. Couple this with a good discussion group or class and everything will be set, because as a stand alone resource "Becoming a Master Student" just isn't good enough to justify its price tag.

"wanda"
Its a book for personal evaluation and its great I highly reccommend it. The cost was also very good. The interactive activities can help you become a better person and get results in the daily activities everyone around you will benefit from the changes you make.

I loved reading this textbook for my class. I especially liked the note-taking chapter, because I use their tips every day. Strongly recommended for those struggling in school.
