Successful Students
7-8
7. . . Successful students know their personal
behavior affect their feelings and emotions which in turn can affect learning.
If you act in a certain way that
normally produces particular feelings, you will began to experience those
feelings. Act like you’re bored, and you’ll become bored. Act like you’re disinterested,
and you’ll become disinterested. So the next time you have trouble
concentrating in the classroom, “act” like an interested person: lean forward,
place your feet flat on the floor, maintain eye contact with the professor, nod
occasionally, take notes and ask questions. Not only will you benefit directly
from your actions, your classmates and professor may get and enthusiastic.
8.
. . .talk about what they’re learning. Successful students get to know
things well enough that they can put it into words. Talking about something
with friends or classmates is good not only for checking whether of not you
know something, it’s a proven learning tool. Transferring ideas into words
provides the most direct path from moving knowledge from short-term to
long-term memory. You really don’t “know” material until you can put it into
words. So next time you study, don’t do it silently. Talk about notes, problems,
reading, etc. with friends, recite to a chair, organized an oral study group, pretend
your teaching your peers. “Talk-learning” produces a whole host of memory
traces that result in more learning.
CHOOSE THE
RIGHT!!!
