what makes a good student

What might make a good student? Well, there are many things that make a good student good. It just depends on what is done. And how it is done. But every student does something in their own way. Just be yourself but if you want to be a good student. But Good grades, a positive attitude, and hard-working are all qualities of a good student. A good student doesn’t always depend on those three qualities though. A good student comes to class and pays attention to the teacher. Self-discipline and time management are also important factors to being a good student.

Now some ways you can be a good student. You’re Organized. This means coming with all the right supplies (it is college-you should have a pencil), getting your work in order, and knowing what you are going to be doing in class. Most teachers give a schedule in their syllabus, so take a peek at the beginning of each week so you know what to expect.

You’re Curious. A student who gets excited and is passionate about the subject they are learning about is bound to do better. Think about it; if you are interested in a class, you will pay attention more just in order to further your knowledge on a subject. So get curious! If you aren’t curious about the class, maybe it is not the best fit for you. If you need the class to graduate, try to find some aspect of the class that excites you.

You’re Attentive. In order to succeed, you need to pay attention too. Read the directions, listen when the teacher is speaking, and be conscientious of what is going on in the class.

You’re Self-Aware. A student who knows what kind of learner they are – visual, physical, or auditory – can use this to their advantage. If you know how you learn best, you can figure out a way either on your own (bring your computer if you do better with that) or with your teacher (ask if you can record the lesson to listen to later) to integrate this style into your lesson.

These are the main ways to how to be a good student. you don’t have to do all these. I advise you to work on one that you are least good at. or the ones you’re least likely to do. Go cougars!
