Successful Students

Successful students exhibit a combination of successful attitudes and behavior as well as intellectual capacity. Successful students

1.   Successful students are responsible and active. Successful students get involved in their studies, accept responsibility for their own education, and are active participants in it!

Responsibility means control. It’s the difference between leading and being led. Your own efforts control your grade, you earn the glory or deserve the blame, you make the choice. Active classroom participation grades without increasing study time. You can sit there, act bored, daydream, or sleep. Or, you can actively listen, think, question , and take notes  like someone in charge of their learning experience. Either option costs one class period. However, the former method will require a large degree of additional work outside of class to achieve the same degree of learning the latter provides at one sitting. The choice is yours.

2.   Successful students have educationals  goals. Successful students have legitimate goals and are motivated by what they represent in terms of career aspirations and  life’s desires. Ask yourself these questions: What am I doing here? Why have I chosen to be sitting here now? Is there some better place I could be? What does my presence here mean to.
