5-4
5. Don’t sit in the back of the room. Successful students.
Minimize classroom distraction that interferes 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 temptation of
inactive classroom experience and distractions 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 anonymity, both of which are antithetical to efficient
and effective learning. If you are trying not to be part of the class, then,
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 more you use them, the more you’ll improve.
Choose the right!!!
