3. …ask questions. Successful
students ask questions to provide the quickest route between ignorance and
knowledge. In addition to securing knowledge you seek, asking questions has at
least two other extremely important benefits. The process helps you pay
attention to your professor and helps your professor pay attention to you! Think
about it. If you want something, go after it. Get the answer now, or fall a
question later. There are no foolish questions, only foolish silence. It’s your
choice.
4. …learn that a student
and a professor make a team. Most instructors 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 teacher: 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, your 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!
CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!
