Successful Students 7-8
7.
Understand that actions affect learning. Successful students know their
personal behavior affect their feelings and emotions which turn can affect
learning.
If
you act in a certain way that normally produces particular feelings, you will
begin to experience those feelings. Act like you’re bored, and you’ll become
bored. Act like you’re disinterested, and you’ll become disinterested. So the
next time you have trouble concentrating in the classroom, “act” like an
interested person: lean forward, place your feet flat on the floor, maintain
eye contact with the professor, nod occasionally, take notes, and ask
questions. Not only will you benefit directly from your actions, your
classmates and professor may also get more excited and enthusiastic.

Talk about what they’re learning. Successful students get to know something
well enough that they can put it into words. stalking about something, with friends
or classmates, is not only good for checking whether or not you know something,
it’s a proven learning tool. Transferring ideas into words provides the most
direct path for moving knowledge from short term to long term memory. You really
don’t “know” material until you can put it into your own words. So, next time
you study, don’t do it silently. Talk about notes, problems, readings, etc.
with friends, recite to a chair, organize an oral study group, pretend you’re
teaching your peers. “Talk-learning” produces a whole host of memory traces that
result in more learning.
Choose The Right!!!
