Student Responsibility

Part 3

 

What is important to you is that you, as you start to reach milestones in your ambitions, you appreciate your own achievements. It is a boost, of course, if others appreciate what you have done too, but appreciating yourself will strengthen your self-belief, and reinforce your determination to succeed.

Some of the keys characteristics you will find in those who are successful and perseverance, prepared to research, plan and work hard, practice a lot even when things so not seem to be going well, and an ability to recover and learn from setbacks, at the outside of whatever it is you are trying to succeed in a strong vision of your future, planning, and setting yourself achievements targets can all play in an important role.

If you feel you do not naturally have all those characteristics, than do not despair. Each of them can be accomplished by your own application. You can use medications and visualization techniques to indicate your vision, and they can certainly be learnt both of that purpose and for each step you take to reach your goals. Setting goals and objectives can be a personal or business technique that can be learnt. You cans develop inner strength of succeed if you apply yourself to doing just that; that will enable you to recover from setbacks more easily.

Students: these are YOUR responsibilities!

Successful Students
Part 2

 

4. Successful students learn that a student and a teacher make a team. Most teachers 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 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 goal –in short, your teammates. Get to know your professor. You’re the most valuable players on the team. Your jobs are to work together for mutual success.

Neither wishes to chalk up a losing season. Be a team player

5. Successful students don’t sit in the back. Successful students minimize classroom distractions that interfere learning, students want the best seat available for their entertainment dollars, but willingly seek the worse seat for their entertainment dollars. Students who sit in the back cannot possibly be their teachers team mate (see no. 4). Why do they expose themselves to the temptations of inactive classroom experiences and distractions of all the people between them and the instructor? Of course? We know they choose the back of the classroom because….

Successful students

Part 1


 

Successful students exhibit a combination of successful attitudes and behaviors 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, and you make the choice. Active classroom participation improves grades without increasing study time. You can sit there, act bored, day dream, or sleep. Or you can actually listen, think, question, and take notes like someone in charge of their learning experience. Either options costs one class period. However, there former method will require a large degree of additional work outside of the classroom to achieve the same degree of learning the ladder provides at one sitting. The choice is yours.

2. Successful students have educational goals. Successful students have legitimate goals and are motivated by what they represent in terms of career aspirations and life’s desires. Ask yourselves these questions: what am I doing here? Why have I chosen to be sitting here now? Is there some better place I can be? What does my presence here mean to me? Answers to these questions represent your “hot buttons” and are without a doubt, the most important factors in your success as a college student

many students do not know what it takes to be successful in the educational environment. They must understand good and bad grades in a general way, and the sense that they should attend classes, but that is where their knowledge begins and ends.

Most instructors know what a good student is and isn’t.  for one thing a good student is not necessarily the most intelligent individual in the class.

The following is a list of some characteristics of a good student. This list is a description of what a hard working good student does and what a teacher likes to see. By learning these characteristics you may better understand the day to day and class to class behavior of successful students. The idea is to provide you with guidelines that you can follow which will help you get down to business of becoming a serious and successful student.

1. successful students attend classes regularly. They are on time. They and train themselves to pay attention. If they miss a session, they feel obligated to tell the instructor why, before the class begins, if possible, and if there excuse is legitimate and reasonable. They make sure they got all missed assignments (by contacting the instructor or another student), they will not give attitude, the quality of their choices, the quality of there lives. The super successful students will always Chosse the roght

25. They have a plan for their life and work methodically at turning that plan into reality. Their life is not a series of unplanned events and outcomes.

Unfortunately, too many people worship it.

30. They understand the importance of discipline and self-control. They are strong. They are happy to take the road less traveled by.
