Successful
Students
7. Successful students understand that
actions affect learning. Successful students know their personal behavior
affect their feelings and emotions that in turn can affect learning.
If you act in a certain way that normally
produces particular feelings, you will begin 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 also get more excited and enthusiastic.
8. Successful students talk about
what they’re learning. Successful students get to know something well enough
that they can put it into words. Talking about something, with friends or
classmates, is not only good for checking whether or not you know something, it’s
a proven learning tool. Transferring ideas into words provides the most direct
path for moving knowledge from short-term to long term memory. You really don’t
“know” material until you can put it into words.
CHOOSE
THE RIGHT!!!
