Successful Students
5-6
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
seat for their educational 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 or
anonymity, both of which are antithetical to efficient and effective learning.
If you are trying not to be part of the class, then why 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 while the material is still
fresh on your mind helps your learn more. The more you learn then, the less
you’ll have to include some deciphering time. The whole purpose of taking notes
is to use them, and use them often. The more you use them, the more they
improve.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!
