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
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!
