Successful Students
5-6
5. Don’t sit in the back or the room.
Successful Students minimize classroom distractions that interfere with
learning.
Students want the best seat available
for their entertainment dollars, but willingly seek the worst seat for their education
dollars. Students who sit in the back cannot possibly be their professor’s teammate
(see no. 4). Why do they expose themselves to the temptations of inactive
classroom experiences and distractions of the people between them and their
instructor? Of
course, we know they chose the back of the classroom because they seek
invisibility or anonymity, both of which are antithetical to efficient and
effective learning. If you are trying not to be part of the class, then, are
you wasting your time? Push your hot buttons; is there something else you
should be doing with your time?
6. take good notes.
Successful students take notes that are understandable and organized, and
review them often.
Why put something into
your notes you don’t understand? Ask the questions now that are necessary to
make your notes meaningful at some later time. A short review of your notes
while the material is still fresh on your mind helps you to learn more. The more
you learn, then the less you’ll have to learn later and the less time it will
take because you won’t have to include some deciphering time, also. The more
you use them, the more you’ll improve.
Choose The Right!!!!
