Successful Students Part 3

7. Students understand that actions affect learning. Successful students know their personal behavior affect their feelings and emotions that in 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 will become bored. Act like you’re disinterested, and you will become disinterested. So the next time you have trouble concentrating in the classroom,”act” like an 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.

8. Successful students talk about what they’re learning. Successful students get to know something well enough that they can put it into words. Talking 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 a more direct path for moving knowledge
