4. Successful students learn that a student and a teacher make a
team. Most teachers 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, you’re 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!
5. Successful students don’t sit in the back. Successful students
minimize classroom distractions 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 teacher’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 chose the back.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!
