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. This 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 science. It’s your choice.
4. . . . learn that a student and a professor make a team. Most
instructors want exactly what you want: that would like for you to learn the
material in their respective classes and learn a good grade.
Successful students reflect well on the effort of any teacher; if
you have learned your materials, the instructor takes some justifiable pride in
teaching. Join forces with your instructor they are not an enemy, you share the
same interest, the same goals- in short, your teammates. Get to know your
professor. You’re the valuable player 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.
