(A MUST READ)

There times that you might be seriously engaged with other activities that will make you stay away from class for sometimes. And so many things will be taught in your absence, which makes you lagging behind- in some way missing important lessons.

Never-the-less, you can make up for the lost times. And that is why you have classmates. All you have to do is to arrange with any of your classmates to teach you lessons you've missed and you can also update your notes with theirs.

But you have to build a cordial relationship with your classmates. No wonder the proverbs says: “A man that have friends must show himself friendly…” One thing is paramount; you must carefully select your friends because “He who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm.

Sometimes you might be in the class and not really comprehend what your teacher/lecturer is passing across to you and might not be opportune to or you might shy away from asking questions. Feel free to rub minds with your classmates because “as iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.”

Being friendly to your classmates and having them as pals have a lot of benefits attached to it. Take advantage of them!

You will succeed!

*A MUST READ*

I have found out that many students cannot remember what they have learnt from class as each day passes by. Research has shown that after two days, students can only remember at least 25% of what they have learnt. I strongly believe this is so because they have failed to maximize the time spent in the class.

I have never seen a teacher or lecturer who can open the skull of their students’ heads and drop what they know into their brains. You have to be around and be in touch, and how do you do that? You do that by engaging your eyes, ears, mind and you have to take notes in the class.

The question is how do you engage your eyes, ears, and mind? And why do you need to take notes in class?
• How to engage your eyes: The eyes are for seeing which is very important in the learning process.
And that is why you need to be seated where you can see your teacher/lecturer, visual aids, white board and the body language (i.e. hands on approach which are used to emphasize important information) of your teacher/lecturer.
Your eyes can get you distracted. So be ready to take away your eyes from any kind of distractions which arrest your attention from the lesson at hand.

• How to engage your ears: Someone said “we were given two ears but one mouth, because listening is twice as hard as talking”. Most of what you’re going to learn from the class will be presented verbally.
It takes listening to grasp what your teacher/lecturer is passing across to you. Listening involves you to be calm, and let your attention be well focused on the teacher/lecturer.

• How to engage your mind: The mind is the Central Processing Unit (CPU) of man. You need to engage your mind in class or else it will wander away thinking of unnecessary things.
Let the information (i.e. knowledge) that you acquired with your eyes and ears be processed by your mind. When knowledge is processed with commitment through your mind, it will result to understanding. But if some concepts are difficult to understand, you can ask questions for clarity.
Take note, if your mind is somewhere apart from being in the class with you, what you see and hear are useless.

• Why do you need to take notes? Your notes serve as a” back up memory” for you so that you can check them later if you've forgotten some information. Some students find it difficult to take notes, they think they have full grasp of the lesson being taught. Research has shown that most of the information is lost within 20 to 60 minutes after learning.
So you can now see why you have to take notes while in class. Your notes are for you to review after class. Never go to the class without your notes with you!

Don’t just waste your time in class if you won’t engage your eyes, ears, minds and you don’t take notes because if you do, understanding the lesson will be far away from you.

You’ll succeed!
