Practical approach to academic excellence

I received the book as a gift last month and found the insights offered by Eric Evans to be meaningful. A number of the elements discussed in the work, such as time management, social vs. academic balance, and effective studying habits were right on. My approach to my studies as an freshman in college have been greatly enhanced after reading The Art of Academic Finesse.

It rocks

Eric Evans is a wonderful author. His book is the basis for my approach to my academic career. I certainly hope everyone takes the time to read this splendid book
