《How to Become a Straight-A Student》精选点评：
●方法论，比较适用于学习。
●书前面部分特别实用
●适合大学的时候读。最有用的是关于写论文校稿的那一部分，先看逻辑结构，再看语句通顺，最后一次小修小补，三次校对出高质量论文。
●到了phd阶段才读这本书已经比较晚了，但作者所介绍的高效的方法仍然适用。我目前的目标是：高效处理所有的学习研究，争取把空余的时间用来玩耍。work hard，then have fun
●...
●#深度学习——不带明确目标，缺乏效率与深度的学习都只是一种自我满足。本书最具启发意义的一点在于把“时间”要素引入学习的过程中，从最基本的5分钟晨间计划，到建立良好学习环境对抗拖延，再到保持良好的休息和娱乐时间，这些都与时间有关——把时间当作朋友是高效学习的基础。书中介绍的学习和写作技巧虽然基础但是实用，不仅适用于校园生活，泛用性强。说到底，人类是爱玩和懒惰的，在不违背天性的基础上，如何用最少的时间达到学习目标才是重中之重，给作者点赞。
●非常实用的技巧！主要是方法论的指引！知道真正善于学习的人究竟是怎么学习的。通过这本书的启发，可以自省过去多少时间是浪费在了 psudo study 上，学习效率本来应有多大潜力提高。
●草草地看了一遍，感觉部分解决了我的一些关于学习的困惑，但是感觉还远远不够，主要还是要把这些东西付诸实践，并且调整到适合自己的方式。
●没什么新意
●开窍

How to Become a Straight-A Student8.3Cal Newport / 2006 / Three Rivers Press重点笔记
art 1 时间管理
把工作分解为有针对性的点 【真正完成的工作 = 花费的时间 × 专注的强度】
掌控自己的生活方式——【并着手去做】
tep 1 5分钟进行时间规划——弄清楚，什么工作，什么时间做好
注意：不要强迫性地完全按照计划；在忽视了计划后立即再次开始
你需要：一个日历、一份清单（随身携带，不时更新）
具体做法： 1 每早更新日历，分为 today's schedule（写上具体时间）和 things to remember 以及它们的deadline（规划大概哪天做，加到那天的to do 里面）——要实际可行，小于10分钟的任务，为了简单，可以合成一个大组写时间（如：10:00 到10:45.。。。一定要 写清楚！）
2 将昨天没有做完的to do ，转移到今天的 list 上面
3 将这张纸带在身边，有新出现的事件时，快速写到 things to remember 那一栏，然后不再想它，专注于今天的 to do
4 经过一段忙碌的时间后，感到疲惫很正常，但记住这只是暂时的，不能让它们把你打倒
《How to Become a Straight-A Student》读后感(二)：personal summary of this book
As the author says in the introduction proudly, all the learning techniques in the book are used by top students themselves, not invented by so-called education experts. I strongly recommend this book to college students struggling to get good grades. Try the methods for some time and then see weather they work or not.
When students could't get the good result in school, the first response is to grind : spending tons of extra hours into study. It never occurs to them that their study methods are wrong.
I am one of those students. I went to college with the same study methods used in high school which was time-consuming and inefficient. I was asked by my teachers to study , study , study , but none of them had taught me anything about how to study. (“学习！学习！再学习！” Vs “学习学习，再学习。”）
quot;If you're studying hard, then you've done something wrong."
The methods expounded in this book are specific and practical.
Here are just some of the content I find most helpful to myself ( I major in engineering, so I gonna skip all the methods using in nontechnical courses.)
FROM PART ONE : study basics
# 1
Avoid "pseudo-working"（grinding). Only efficiency matters.
## Solution:
time management taking less then ten minutes every day using a calendar and a paper( consisted of "today's schedule" & "thing to remember" .）
## How it works：
(1) jot down new tasks and assignments on the list during the day;
(2) transfer these new items onto calendar
(3) plan your day on a new paper
## Notes：
### Be pessimistic .Things will come up.
### Try to label each of to-dos for the day with specific time. BUT the time is not set in stone, it's more of a suggestion.
### to-dos and deadlines existed only in your mind drain your energy, distract your attention and create stress, so after writing down those things on your " thing to remember" list, put them aside. Update to your calendar tomorrow and find yourself a suitable day to finish it.
### Have a realistic sense of time.The goal is just find out how many tasks you ACTUALLY have time to accomplish for the day.Don't try to fit every minutes into your plan.
# 2
Declare wars on procrastination
## Keep a progress journal updated along with your calendar.
## Build work routines to make steady progress.
## Prepare for your hard days in advance to minimize their impact.
# 3
Choose WHEN , WHERE and HOW LONG
1. WHEN: Fit as much work as possible into morning and afternoon. Utilize the time between classes and obligations.
2. WHERE: Find your own perfect Isolated locations to study. Be like a academic ninja during the day, moving from one hidden study places to places and enjoy your nights with friends.
3. HOW LONG: consecutive five hours studying will slow you down. Try to take a break every less than an hour.
FROM PART TWO: quizzes and exams
#4
Always go to class!
Take smart notes.
# 5
Demote your assignments.
ever depend on: day-before assignment planing. Work constantly in small chunks every day.
# 6
Don't work alone on problem sets.
When you get stuck , put away your problems and move on to something else. Think about the problem in between other activities or having a long walk.
# 7
How to prepare form exams:
(1) Define the scope of the exam.
(2) Collect your resources. Construct a mega-problem set.
(3) Use the Quiz-and-Recall method( first review and then try to explain it , unaided, in your own word ) to solve the mega-problem set.
tart with the technical explanation questions, thinking about the general concepts first.
Then move on to the sample problems. Try to answer each.DON'T JUST DO THIS IN YOUR HEAD.
《How to Become a Straight-A Student》读后感(三)：读书摘抄
• How to Become a Straight-A Student 笔记
• PART 1 Study Basics
• pseudo-working（伪学习）
• the importance of avoiding this trap — the ability to get work done quickly and with a minimum of wasted effort.
• work accomplished = time spent × intensity of focus
• Straight-A Students follow an efficient schedule: They replace long, low-intensity stretches of work with a small number of short, high-intensity sessions.
• also: technical details in part 2 and part 3
• how？
• the presentation of a simple time-management system
• fight procrastination
• the basic idea
• Step 1 Manage Your Time in Five Minutes a Day (time management system)
• what you need 1)a calendar; 2)a list(you do have to carry around with you)
• methods
• (1) Jot down new tasks and assignments on your list during the day;
• (2) next morning, transfer these new items from your list onto your calendar;
• (3) then take a couple of minutes to plan your day.
• strategies
• update your calendar each morning
• Transfer these new items onto your calendar. Write the deadlines on the appropriate dates, and write the to-dos on the days when you plan to complete them.
• move the to-dos that you planned for yesterday, but didn’t complete, to new days on your calendar
• record the tasks you will have time for into the Today’s Schedule column of your list
• Step 2 Declare War on Procrastination
• five anti-procrastination battle plans
• Plan 1 Keep a work progress journal
• every day record what you wanted to accomplish and whether or not you succeeded
• Plan 2 Feed the Machine
• the nutrition rules
• 1. Drink water constantly.
• 2. Monitor your caffeine intake carefully.
• 3. Treat food as a source of energy, not satisfaction.
• 4.Don’t skip meals.
• Plan 3 Make an event out of the worst tasks
• Transform horrible tasks into a big event to help you gather the energy to start.
• Plan 4 Build a routine
• Once you’ve identified these protected hours, use them to do the same work each week——transforming these slices of work into a habit.
• Plan 5 Choose your hard days
• Step 3 Choose When, Where, and How Long
• when:the best time to study: Early
• you must minimize the amount of work you do after dinner.
• Bring your materials with you throughout the day, and fill in any small patches of free time with productive work.
• where: in isolation
• how long: No more than one hour at a time without a break.
• PART 2 Quizzes and Exams ——the techniques
• step 1 Take Small Notes
• First things first: Always go to class!——because it saves you time; Gather the Right Materials ——Use your laptop.
• in Nontechnical Courses
• Identify the big ideas：The solution is to figure out how to take notes that clearly identify and explain all of the big ideas that are presented
• Format Your Notes Aggressively
• Capture Big Ideas by Using the Question/Evidence/Conclusion Structure
• in Technical Courses
• record as many sample problems as possible
• Don’t Read Your Assignments, but Do Keep Them Handy
• Prioritize Your Note-taking
• First priority: Record the problem statement and answer.
• Second priority: Question the confusing.
• Third priority: Record the steps of the sample problem.
• Final priority: Annotate the steps.
• step 2 Demote Your Assignments
• getting ahead on class work : Work Constantly on assignments, in small chunks, every day; avoid suffering from day-before syndrome
• Don’t Read Everything
• Read only the favored sources on the syllabus in detail.
• Readings that make an argument are more important than readings that describe an event or person, which are more important than readings that only provide context
• Take Smart Notes on Your Favored Reading Assignments
• all big ideas can be reduced to a question, evidence, and conclusion
• 1.try to take notes on your computer
• 2.carefully read the beginning of the assignment
• 3.look for the author’s conclusion (the thesis statement)
• 4.Skim the entire reading
• Don’t Work Alone on Problem Sets
• Solve Problems on the Go
• think about the problem in between other activities
• Write Solutions Right the First Time
• step 3 Marshal(整理) Your Resources
• forget the conventional wisdom that more studying equals better grades.
• when faced with a looming quiz or exam, you have to do only two things.
• Figure out exactly what the test will cover.
• organize your material intelligently.
• Define the Challenge
• Build a Study Guide (Organizing Nontechnical Course Material)
• Construct a Mega-Problem Set (Organizing Technical Course Material)
• Prepare Memorization Aids: by using flash cards
• Schedule Your Organization Wisely
• perform a targeted review of this material.
• step 4 Conquer the Material
• Trust the #Quiz-and-Recall Method#
• the most effective way to imprint a concept is to first review it and then try to explain it, unaided, in your own words.
• Using the Quiz-and-Recall Method for Nontechnical Courses
• 1.built your practice quizzes
• 2. For each question, try to articulate the matching conclusion and provide some highlights from the supporting evidence.
• Don’t do this only in your head 1)say your answers out 2) write and manipulate the material in mind
• 3.then take a quick break and mark on your second run-through
• Using the Quiz-and-Recall Method for Technical Courses
• Memorize over Time: separate the task of memorizing
• step 5 invest in “Academic Disaster Insurance”
• Eliminate your question marks for topics covered in class or from the reading that you don’t understand.
• step 6 provide A+ Answers
• PART 3 Essays and Papers
• Step 1. Target a Titillating Topic
• Start looking for an interesting topic early.
• Step 2. Conduct a Thesis-Hunting Expedition
• Start with general sources and then follow references to find the more targeted sources where good thesis ideas often hide.
• Step 3. Seek a Second Opinion
• A thesis is not a thesis until a professor has approved it.
• Step 4. Research like a Machine
• Find sources; Make personal copies of all sources; Annotate the material; Decide if you’re done.
• Step 5. Craft a Powerful Story
• There is no shortcut to developing a well balanced and easy-to-follow argument.
• Dedicate a good deal of thought over time to getting it right.
• Describe your argument in a topic-level outline.
• Type supporting quotes from sources directly into your outline.
• Step 6. Consult Your Expert Panel
• Before starting to write, get some opinions on the organization of your argument and your support from classmates and friends who are familiar with the general area of study.
• The more important the paper, the more people who should review it.
• Step 7. Write Without the Agony(痛苦)
• Follow your outline and articulate your points clearly.
• Write no more than three to five pages per weekday and five to eight pages per weekend day.
• Step 8. Fix, Don’t Fixate
• Solid editing requires only three careful passes: The Argument Adjustment Pass； The Out Loud Pass； The Sanity Pass
