The majority of things you learn during your educational career , comes through listening in class. So be an active listener and LISTEN CAREFULLY. Here are few suggestions.
1. MOVE CLOSER to the front of the class so you won’t have any trouble seeing, hearing or paying attention.
2. FOCUS YOUR ATTENTION on what the professor or speaker is saying - not on the upcoming weekend or yesterday’s dinner, or the sound of the speakrs’ voice, etc. But focus on the content of his lecture.
3. EVALUATE WHAT YOU HEAR and think about what the speaker’s words mean and how they relate to what you already know about the subject.
4. TAKE NOTES, since it’s impossible for even the best of listeners to remmeber all that has been said. Write down those things that are most important.
Your listening skills are key to your Academic Success. So Play Your “A” game and Actively Listen.
