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 ever 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 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, 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 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 whole purpose if taking notes is to use
them, and use them often. The more you use them, the more they improve.
CHOOSE THE
RIGHT!!!
