Successful Students
Part2
4. Successful students learn
that a student and a teacher make a team. Most teachers want exactly what you
want: they would like for you to learn the material in their respective classes
and earn a good grade.
Successful students reflect
well on the efforts of any teachers; if you have learned your material, the
instructor takes some justifiable pride in teaching. Join forces with your
instructor, they are not an enemy, you share the same interests, the same goals
– in short, and you’re teammates. Get to know your professor. You’re the most
valuable players on the same team. Your jobs are to work together for mutual
success. Neither wishes to chalk up a losing season. Be a team player!
5. Successful students don’t
sit back. Successful students minimize classroom distractions that interfere
with learning. Students want the best seat available for their entertainment
dollars, but willing seeks the worst seat for their educational dollars.
Students who sit in the back
cannot possibly be their teacher’s teammate (see no. 4). Why do they expose
themselves to the temptations of inactive classroom experiences 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.
