Success
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
cannot possibly be their professor’s teammate (see no. 4). Why do they expose
themselves to the temptations of inactive classroom experiences and distraction
of all 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
to not be part of the class, why, then, are you wasting your time? Push your
hot buttons, is there something else yo 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 in
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 time it will take because you won’t have to include
some deciphering time, also. 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!!!
