Clear, concise, & accessible, yet based on science
The A Game: Nine Steps to Better Grades is based on Dr. Ken Sufka's two decades of experience teaching tens of thousands of college students and analyzing why some students perform poorly.
A professor of psychology and pharmacology, Dr. Sufka developed a diagnostic checklist to identify the sources of poor student performance. And, subsequently, he compiled empirically-based, highly efficient and effective strategies to promote course mastery—and, thus, better grades.
The A Game was written with students in mind. The book features:
- Short, accessible chapters
- Entertaining narratives to introduce each chapter
- Humorous illustrations of common student mistakes
- Exercises to demonstrate how to master material
- Empirical studies to corroborate learning strategies
- A reasonable retail price ($12.95)
- A total of 80 pages
