Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Just as in tough neighbourhoods, where people have to become street-wise in order to survive, so the university environment contains its own set of dangers. HOW TO TAKE AN EXAM.AND REMAKE THE WORLD help readers to become exam-wise. The traps in the academic sector may be different to the ghetto but the need for a cool appraisal of the dangers involved, knowing how those in charge think, sensing the options, and above all, the importance of good timing is not, especially for those who want to survive in the long term. This is a truly unique book. In letting readers in on the secret of exams, Bertell Ollamn also tried to make them street-wise to the education system as a whole, because as he says himself "It isn't smart to put all your efforts into gaining access to a building that is even now falling down about your ears." Ollman employs his trademark humour to bring together practical advice on exam-taking and radical scholarship in his analysis of the citadel of higher education. A humorous, always learned, and occasionally frightening introduction to one socialist teacher's view of America.
