Successful Students
Part 2
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 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, and you share the same interest, the
same goal-in short, 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. Be a team player!
5. Successful
students don’t sit in the back. Successful students minimize classroom distracters
that interfere with the 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 teacher’s teammate (see #4). Why do
they expose themselves to the temptations of the inactive classroom experiences
and the distractions of all the people between them and their instructor? Of course
we know they choose the back of the classroom because they seek invisibility.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!
