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 or 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, and you’re teammates. Get to know your professor. Your jobs are to work together for mutual success. Neither wishes to chalk up a losing season. Be a team player!

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).

“I am bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong.” –Abraham Lincoln

To me this means not too have any friends that are choosing to do the wrong thing and have friends who are doing good instead.

PART 1

Successful students exhibit 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 effort control your grade, you earn the glory or deserve the blame, you make a choice. Active classroom participation improves grades without increasing study time. You sit there, act bored, daydream, or sleep. Or, you can actively listen, question, and take notes like someone in charge of their learning experience. Either option costs one class period. However, the former method will require a large degree of additional work outside of class to achieve the same degree of learning the latter provides at one sitting. The choice is yours.

Successful students have educational goals. Successful students have ligament goals and are motivated 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 can be?

What does my presence here mean to me?

answer to these question represent “hot buttons” and are, without a doubt, the most important factors of your success as a college student.
