HOW TO SUCCEED AS A STUDENT

HOW TO SUCCEED AS A STUDENT  

   Before, unleashing the way to succeed as a student, I will like to intimate us about who a student is.

   A student is one who studies and not only one that goes to school always. 

According to wikipedia

A student is primarily a person enrolled in a school or other educational institution who attends classes in a course to attain the appropriate level of mastery of a subject under the guidance of an instructor and who devotes time outside class to do whatever activities the instructor assigns that are necessary either for class preparation or to submit evidence of progress towards that mastery. In the broader sense, a student is anyone who applies themselves to the intensive intellectual engagement with some matter necessary to master it as part of some practical affair in which such mastery is basic or decisive. 

According to Oxford dictionary 

A student is a person who is studying at a university or other place of higher education.

 From the definitions above, one will notice that the work/duty of a student is nothing but to read, research and also to follow the instructions given by the instructor/lecturer.

To succeed as a student, there are things to put in practice. They includes the following:-

• Sleeping at least 6hours in a day.
• Having a functional time table.
• Engaging oneself to extensive reading/ Research.
• Engaging oneself to class discussion with friends.
• Reading ahead of the instructor/lecturer.
• Preparing oneself on a topic before been taught by the lecturer/instructor.
• Making friends that have the same enthusiasm and passion as you do.

 The list above will help a student to achieve his/her goal.
       From the list above:

• Sleeping at least 6hours in a day helps the brain to be functional. The reason why students reads and forget is due to too much stress to the brain. Always sleep to help the brain.
• Having functional timetable also helps to intimate a student on what to read at any time or day. Some students finds it difficult to cover their syllabus within the semester due to lack of personal timetable. The time table will help a student not to cheat any course and enable the student to be prepared for all. Reading without a timetable is like building a castle in the air, because the student has no direction or guide. If you want to be successful, make sure you draft your time table.
• Engaging oneself to extensive reading/ Reasearch:  Extensive reading will help a student to be versatile in his/her field of study. A student should always visit the library / internet at least twice in a week to obtain more information.
• Engaging oneself to class discussion with friends: Engaging oneself to class interaction with friends will help to build the mind set of the student and also help to boast the thinking faculty of the student thereby saturating the student ability in the topic discussed.
• Reading ahead of the lecturer/instructor: To be a suceessful student, one need to read a particular topic before attending the class. Preparing before the class will help the student to be inline with the lecturer. Coming to a class a meeting a new topic will be strange but meeting what you have knowledge in gives better understanding.
• Making friends that have the same passion with you: Some people makes mistakes while choosing friends and ends up in frustration. Always endeavour to choose friends that has the same passion with you. Having good friends will go along way to boast your academic exellence. As stated a friend of the wise rich can never be poor.
