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 help 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 effort of any teacher; if you have learned your material, the instructor, they are not an enemy; you share the same interests, the same goals-in short, and 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.
