God, what a bore! Going to school like that is to suffer living hell.
The best way to get all A's is to select the easiest teachers. Never take a grad teaching assistant (at an expensive school like Rice it is inexcusable to put grad students in front of a class). No grad student or assistant professor dare grade easily. Always take full professors, even if you must take odd hours. Be sure to be the first student to visit the professor at office hours. Look him up on the computer and get (buy) copies of his most recent articles (even if they are in the 1960's). Read at least one of these articles before class starts. Develop some questions about the professor's work. Ask him to help you understand. Make hard criticisms (only if you read the stuff). Such up as much as you can stand. Never act superior to a professor. Treat him or her like an equal. Take him duck hunting on your estate. Ask him to autograph your copy of his most recent book.
