Ratings and reviews

(fake birthday don't freak lol) honestly as a student going to a community college I never realized how many bad habits I had until I read this. I love how I fall into the examples of what not to do. THIS BOOK IS AMAZING. I might even want a hard copy. Eveyone should read this. I feel so refreshed and ready to take on the semester. definitely going to be following though with the tips/ habits I've learned

This book helped me to get focus on my tasks (assignments, projects, etc.), and it provides insights from different students which deeply impacted me because I hate attending classes (I rather study on my own), but from now on - i will force myself to attend one

Best book... very helpful for college students.. i would recommend every college student to read it compulsarily.... very effective☺☺

About the author

Kevin Barry is founder of Best Practices To Graduate and Plant Foods for Humanity.

Best Practices To Graduate defines five best practices to help college students attend classes and complete study sessions so they can graduate. http://BestPracticesToGraduate.org

Personal academic background: In college, I graduated after five and a half years with a 2.0 grade point average. After several years out in the work force, I was interested in obtaining my MBA. I knew that my undergraduate GPA was not sufficient to get me into graduate school, so I started taking general courses and spent a great deal of time preparing for the GMAT. During this time I began to document decisions that yielded productive study sessions and the reasons behind these results.

Based on this personal experience and my interviews with hundreds of college students over the past 20 years, I have documented the five best practices that are central to consistently attending classes and completing study sessions. These best practices are detailed at http://BestPracticesToGraduate.org. 

How did my academic story end? I went on to Graduate school, earned my degree with a 3.73 GPA, and was selected for membership in Beta Gamma Sigma, the honor society for collegiate schools of business. My hope for you is that you take to heart these five best practices so you can earn your degree and realize your dreams.
