Students Responsibilites (Part 3)

       Students Responsibilities

                           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 so succeed.

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

If you feel you can do not naturally have all those characteristics, then do not despair. Each of them can be accomplished by your own application. You can use meditation and visualization techniques to initiate your visitation, and they can certainly be learnt both for 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 can develop inner strength to succeed if you apply yourself to doing just that; that will enable you to recover from setbacks more easily.

Students: These are YOUR Responsibilities!

The Importance Of Good Sportsmanship

“The Importance of Good Sportsmanship”

Good sportsmanship is important because if there were no rules there would be a big fight and everybody would get hurt. Examples of good sportsmanship is:

·         Somebody playing by the rules

·         Listening to the referrer

·         Playing the game plan

Good sportsmanship is also important because nobody likes to be suspended from a game nor does anybody like to be kicked out of the sport for a season

7. Successful students understand that actions affect learning. Successful students know their behavior affect their feelings and emotions that in turn can affect learning.

If you act in a certain way normally produces particular feelings. Act like you’re bored, and you’ll become disinterested. 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 occasionally, take notes, and ask questions. Not only will you benefit directly from your actions, your classmates and professor may also get more excited and enthusiastic.

8. Successful students 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 provide the most direct path for moving knowledge from short-term to long-term memory. You really don’t “know” material until you can put in into words. So, next time you study, don’t do it silently. Talk about notes, problems, readings, etc. with friends, recite to a chair, organize an oral study group, pretend you’re teaching your peers. “Talk-learning” produces a whole host of memory traces that result in more learning.

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 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 goal – 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!

5. Successful students don’t sit in the back. Successful students minimize classroom distractions that interfere with learning. Students want the best seat available for their entertainment dollars, but willingly seek the worst seat for their educational dollars. Students who sit in the back cannot possibly be their teacher’s teammate (see no.4). Why do they expose experiences and distractions of all people between them and their instructor?

Successful Students(Part 1)

                           Part 1

Successful students exhibits 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, you make the choice. Active classroom participation improves 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 method will require a large degree of learning the latter provides at one sitting. The choice is yours.

2.  Successful students have educational goals. Successful students have legitimate goals and are motived 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 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.

Characteristics Of A Successful Student

Characteristics of a Successful Student

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

Most instructors know what good students is – and is not. 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 good students. This list is a description of what a hard-working student does and what a teacher likes to see. By learning these characteristics, you may understand the day-to-day and class-to-class behavior of successful students. The idea is to provide you with guidelines you can follow which will help you get down to business of becoming a serious, successful student.

1.  Successful students attend classes regularly. They are on time. They listen and train to pay attention. If they miss a session, they feel obligated to let the instructor know why before class begins, if possible, and their excuses are legitimate and reasonable.

                                        (Anon)

We should understand our capacities and potentials, and then we should express ourselves in the external world with full confidence, acting without any reservation. Thus there are three steps in performing an action: first, forming an opinion within ourselves; second, expressing our opinion to others; and third, executing our opinion in action

 

          Understanding Habit Patterns

          The main thing that one should learn in life -- and it is not taught in the home

 or in the schools – is self-analysis. We should learn to analyze ourselves. If we really want to understand ourselves, we can analyze our personality by understanding our habit patterns. This is not difficult. We should simply try to be consciously aware of every
