7 . . . . Understand that actions affect learning. Successful
students know their personal behavior affect their feelings and emotions which
in turn can affect learning.
If you act in a certain way that normally produces particular
feelings, you will begin to experience those feelings. Act like you’re bored,
and you’ll become bored. Act like you’re disinterested, and you’ll become disinterested. So the
next time you have trouble concentrating in the classroom, “act” like an
interested person: lean forward, place your feet flat on the floor, maintain
eye contact with the professor, nod occasionally, take notes and ask questions.
Not only will you benefit directly from your actions, your classmates and
professor may also get more excited and enthusiastic.
