Successful student
5-6
5. ...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 fail a question later. There are
no foolish questions, only foolish silence. It’s your choice.
6…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 the 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!!
