Successful students

5. don’t sit in the back of the room. Successful student minimized classroom distraction that interfere with 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 professor’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 choose the back of the classroom because they seek invisibility or anonymity, both of which are antithetical to efficient and effective learning. If you are trying not to be part of the class, why then, are  you wasting your time? Push your hot buttons, is there something else you should be doing with your time?

6. … take good notes. Successful students take notes that are understandable and organized, and review them often.

Why put something into your notes you don’t understand? Ask the questions now that are necessary to make your notes meaningful at some later time. A short review of your notes while them material is still fresh on your mind helps your learns more. The more you learn then, the less you’ll have to learn less time later and the less time it will take because you won’t have to include some deciphering time , also. The whole purpose of taking notes is to use them, and use them often. The more you use them, yhe more they improve.
