Title: A dry read that offers no real insight to real students
Product review: Considering that this book could have been fascinating, it is disappointing that the author merely produced a fairly dull analysis of the most superficial aspects of the student experience. At no point did the author manage to really get close to the true student experience, nor is she closer to understanding the inner lives of students by the end of the book. Her conclusions about students are ultimately one big DUH: it seems students want to appear attractive and fun, they like to talk about sex, drugs, and pop culture, and they prefer easier classes to hard ones. I recommend instead "I'm the Teacher, You're the Student" by Patrick Allitt for a more interesting and straightforward read.
