Successful students

7-8

7… understand that actions affected learning. Successful students know their personal behavior effected their feelings and emotions which in turn can effect 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: learn forward place feet flat on the floor mountain eye contact with the professor nod occasionally ask notes and ask question. Not only will you benefit  directly from your actions. You classmates and professor may also get more excited and enthusiastic.

8….. talk about what they’re learning. Successful student get to know something well enough that they can put it into words.

Talking about something whit friends or classmate 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 into the words. So next time you study don’t do it silently. Talk about notes problems readings etc. whit friends recite to a chair organize an oral study group pretend you’re teaching you peers. Talk-learning produces a whole host of memory trace that result in more learning.
