5. Don sit in the back of the room. Successful students minimize classroom distractions that interfere with learning.

Students want the best seat available for their entertainment dollars, but willing seek the worst seat for their educational dollars. Students who sit in the back cannot possibly be their professor’s teammate (see no. 4). Why do they expose themselves to the temptations of inactive classroom experiences and distractions of all people between them and their instructor? Of course, we know they chose to sit in the back of the classroom because they seek invisibility or anonymity, both of which are antithetical to efficient and effective learning. If you are wasting your time push your hot buttons is there something else you should be doing with your time.

6. …take good notes. Successful students take notes that are understandable and organize, and review them often.

Why put something into your notes you don’t understand? Ask the questions now that are necessary to make your notes meaningful at some later time. ………
