Successful Students 3-4
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
the 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!
