The Secrets of Successful Students part 2


                     The Secrets of Successful Students

                                              Part 2

Successful Students take charge of their lives and balance their time between fun and work. They know that there is a time for all-nighters, and it’s not during finals week.

Successful Students Take Care of Themselves Do you live on junk food and lay on the couch watching TV every night.” Students with poor physical habits probably don’t feel very energetic in the morning, and they probably don’t feel good sitting in class, either.

Good food and a little exercise will clear your head! Students who eat junk in moderation (you really don’t have to cut it out completely and work out in some way are more likely to participate in sports. That means they have more balance in their lives, feel better in the mornings, and are more alert in class.

You just have to change a few habits to feel better. Eat healthy foods, start walking more, take a yoga class, enroll in martial arts classes, or challenge yourself to do sit-ups at night. You’ll notice a change right away.

                           Secrets of Successful Students
                                               Part 1
It’s a matter of taking charge of your time & destiny!
Have you ever wondered what successful students do to set themselves apart from the rest? The key is simple: successful students take charge of their own success.


There is no magic trick, power drink, or special class that makes a student excel in the classroom. Students stand out because they take charge of their time and their tasks, without relying on anybody else to tell them what to do.


Successful students control their calendars. Successful students don’t rely on parents or teachers to tell then when assignments are due or when test dates are approaching.

The "C" Student

Part 3


6. EFFORT: "C" students are capable of sufficient effort, but either fail to realistically evaluate the effort needed to accomplish a task successfully, or lack the desire to meet the challenge. They put forth very little effort. They don't realize that they will be rewarded according the amount of effort they put into a project. Little effort= bad results.


7. COMMUNICATIONS: "C" students communicate in ways that often limit comprehension or risk misinterpretation. Ideas are not well formulated before they are expressed. Poor listening/reading habits inhibit matching inquiry and response.


8. RESULTS: "C" students obtain mediocre or inconsistent results on tests. They have some concept of what is going on but clearly have not mastered the material.

ATTITUDE: “C” students are not visibly committed to class. They participate without enthusiasm. Their body language often expresses boredom.
 TALENT: “C” students vary enormously in talent. Some have exceptional ability but show undeniable signs of poor self-management or bad attitudes. Others are diligent but simply average in academic ability.

Successful students can be distinguished from the average student by their attitudes and behaviors. Below are some profiles that typically distinguish between an “A” student and a “C” student. Where do you fit in this scheme?

 

 

The “A” Student – An Outstanding Student

 

1.  ATTENDANCE: “A” students have virtually perfect attendance. Their commitment to the class is a high priority and exceeds other temptations.

 

2. PREPARATION: “A” students are prepared for class. They always read the assignment. Their attention to detail is such that they occasionally can elaborate on class examples.

 

3. CURIOSITY: “A” students demonstrate interest in the class and the subject. They look up or dig out what they don’t understand. They often ask interesting questions or make thoughtful comments.

 

4. RETENTION: “A” students have retentive minds and practice making retentive connections. They are able to connect past learning with the present. They bring a background of knowledge with them to their classes. They focus on learning concepts rather than memorizing details.
