A Vic Professor's Hints toward Academic Success Good students ask questions - of themselves, their books, their teachers, their classmates, and others. Learning when and how to ask questions is probably the most important skill you can develop. Then think about what the best way is to answer it.
Good students take active responsibility for their learning.
They don't think of themselves as passive consumers of University products, like cars with tanks to be pumped full of knowledge or couch-potatoes depending upon profs to provide motivation and interest. They know that the value of their education depends upon their own interest, commitment, and energy. The Group should meet at least once weekly to review and discuss the coursework. Good students understand the value of the University as a community in which people share overlapping aspirations and can learn from each other and together. Good students don't think of themselves as alone, in antagonistic or competitive relations with teachers and classmates.
