Authored
by a famous professor who reveals the inner secrets
of his trade, How to Take an
Exam... interplays two totally
disparate subjects, then brings them together in a
revealing indictment of `higher' education and the
world it produces. A delightful tour de force that
entertains while it educates.
"Funny,
serious, practical, impractical, a delight to
read."
Howard Zinn, Boston University
"A
delighful tour de force that entertains while it
educates...An invaluable tool both for taking exams
and examining society." -- Dr. Michael Parenti,
noted author and lecturer
"No
student can afford to be without How
To Take an Exam...don't miss
this book, if you want to learn how to beat the
system, that is the exam system as well as the
political one." --Prof. James O'Connor, editor, Capitalism,
Nature, Socialism, and formerly
Professor of Sociology, University of California,
Santa Cruz
"Humerous,
scary and angry...The tips Ollman offers about
examinatons are flawless, and the wisdom he presents
about political economy communicates by anecdote and
example rather than by programmatic analysis."
--Prof. Andrew Ross, editor, Social
Text, and Director, American
Studies Program, New York University
"A
wonderful combination of Oxford scholarship, Marxist
insight, Jewish humor, and revolutionary pedagogy.
Ollman at his best."
Michael Savas, University of Athens
"Ollman
has done it again! He's brought together radical
scholarship and a hilarious sense of humor to produce
this unique book."
Ira Shor, City University of New York
