Are you getting bad grades in school? Are you the parent of a student who is struggling? Have you tried punishing your kids to no avail? Have you only found study guides that seem to have little substance and do not provide examples of how to grasp course material? Todd Hicks has been in your shoes. During his first few years in college, he made some bad grades and worked with a study guide his grandmother sent him. The book only helped him a little because it mainly just babbled on and did not provide any useful examples. Todd eventually started making plenty of good grades on a consistent basis as he gradually taught himself how to study effectively. He used the expertise he gained to write “Hicks’ Guide to Better Grades”. This book covers various study techniques that can be applied to most courses. The fundamentals of writing are also covered.
