Successful Student
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 education dollars. Students
who sit in the back cannot possibly be their professors teammate (see no 4) Why
do they expose themselves to the temptation of inactive classroom expierince
and distraction 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
anonomity, both of which are anithecal to efficient learning. If you are trying
not to be part of the class, then are you waiting 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 your learn more. The more you learn then, the less you’ll 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.
