- Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2019Got delivered within 2 days as expected. Book is brand new as ordered. I have read the first pages, and the book itself is very good, I love it. I ordered it for a college class and is exactly what I needed for the class. The only issues I ever have is with USPS deliveries. The folded my paperback book IN HALF AND shoved it in my 2in/3in/8in.tall mailbox! Almost ruined by USPS

Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2021Es un libro excelente, lo compré para mi hijo y todo muy bien
- Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2020For one, everything in this book is common knowledge, it basically "Do the right thing and take notes! You'll be a good student! Don't beat yourself up! No one is perfect!! But if you don't do X Y & Z YOU ARE WRONG!!~" And I hate it. I also hated the class I had to take for this because a practically old, blind, barely walking, had the memory of a goldfish, only knew like 3 of our names, and should have retired 20 years ago professor who didn't know how to manage a classroom taught it. Also, she didn't follow the advice of the book. So she was just a hypocrite. All and all, don't buy this, you'll get better advice from a wiki how article. And if you have to read this for a class and it's mandatory. . . I am so sorry but you're wasting your money. Good luck.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2021Great book with a lot of information
