The Professors' Guide to Getting Good Grades in College is the first book to reveal the insider secrets about how professors really grade.
Grounded in decades of classroom instruction across eight universities, authors Lynn F. Jacobs and Jeremy S. Hyman lift the curtain on how faculty construct courses and evaluate student work. The guide details how graders evaluate essays against three distinct standards and score tests under strict time limits.
The book offers high-value, practical tips about how to succeed at each of the five "grade-bearing" moments of the semester: (1) The Start (2) The Class (3) The Exam (4) The Paper and (5) The Last Month of the Semester.
Candid and practical, the chapters break down syllabus decoding, lecture note-taking, and office-hour consultations. Fast-paced, entertaining, and easy-to-follow, the Professors' Guide will help you get truly excellent grades in college.
- College Success Guide: Learn how professors and teaching assistants actually grade in episodic 10-minute windows.
- Taking Notes in Class: Master active listening using your instructor’s verbal and behavioral cues to capture complete lecture outlines rather than copying incomplete blackboard abbreviations.
- Test-Taking Tips: Prepare for midterms and finals by triaging study hours, predicting exam prompts, and running full timed practice tests at home before test day.
- Writing College-Level Papers: Distinguish analytical essays from secondary research projects, formulate a one-sentence thesis statement, and utilize office hours to refine your draft.
