How To Become A Good Student
Wikiversity Transwiki - OR issues, not much of a 'textbook' anyway. Kayau ( talk &#124; email &#124; contribs ) 07:16, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Symbol redirect vote.svg Transwiki I would like to disagree with QU 's appraisal. Instead of discussing how to improve your study habits or test scores, which I consider to be study skills.  This book explicitly states that learning the material and achieving a perfect performance on examinations is not enough to be a good student and focuses quite a bit on what I would dub extra curricular behavior.  It discusses a lot of how one should interact with other people in life, "Obey your elders", "Behavior should be first and then comes academics.", etc. almost in equal part to topics that directly effect being a student.   Why do things like saying hello to people in the morning affect how good of a student you are?  Why is academic achievement is not enough to be a good student?  Overall, I see no way to verify the advise given here, and perhaps the book would be better suited to wikiversity.  Also it perhaps should be noted we have other far better books about studying here such as How to Pass a Course and Study Skills.  (To play devils advocate for a moment) These books also do not do not cite any references.  But unlike the current book the advise given sticks mostly to how to study and would be easier to verify.
