Successful Students 3-4
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 fail 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 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!!!!
