3…. ask questions. Successful students ask questions to provide the quickest route between ignorance and knowledge. In addition to securing knowledge you seek, asking questions has at least two other 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 a 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, you share the same interests, 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!

Laura B.’s Academic Success Story

In high school I was one of the good students who didn’t really have to study to be a good student. The information that I took for notes in class usually sunk in enough for me to be able to get by on the tests by simply reviewing the material just before the class began. Not only did I start studying and reading the book, but I began to understand that the little tiny facts were just as important as general concepts. My overall study method: I do the reading that is required for the classes, but I try to keep up. If I do fall behind, I usually use the reading that I did not get to as an additional study and I take good notes in class and actually attend every class that I can. Sometimes, with volleyball, it’s tough because we are on the road to a lot, but I do miss class because of volleyball I make sure that I get the notes from another student in class. Also, for a subject such as chemistry, I do practice problems to help me understand what the material means.
