3. . . . ask questions. Successful students ask
questions to provide the quickest route between ignorance and knowledge you
seek, asking questions has at least two 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 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, and you share the same interest,
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.
