Successful Students 7-8


Successful Students
7-8
7. …understand that actions affect learning. Successful students know their personal behavior affect their feelings and emotions which in turn can affect learning.
If you act in a certain way that normally produces particular feelings. Act like you’re bored, and you’ll become bored. Act like you’re disinterested and you’ll become dis interested. So the next time you have trouble concentrating in the classroom, “act” like an interested person: lean forward, place your feet flat on the floor, maintain eye contact with the professor, nod your actions, your classmates and professor may also get more excited and enthusiastic.
8. …talk about what they’re learning. Successful students get to know something well enough that they can put it into words. Talking about something, with friends or classmates, 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 memory.
