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 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 a part of the class, why, the, 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 of taking notes is to use them, and use them often. The
more you use them, the more they improve.
