Successful Students

5. Don’t sit in the back of 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 for their entertainment
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 all the people between them
and their instructor? Of course, we know they chose the back of the classroom
because they seek invisibility and anonymity; both which are antithetical to
efficient and effective learning. If you are trying not to be part of the
class, why, 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 that are necessary to make your notes meaningful at some time
later. A short review of your notes while the material is still fresh on your
mind helps you to learn more. The more you learn, 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 whole point of taking notes is to use the, and use
them often. The more you us them, the more they improve.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!
