The STUDY GUIDE of ST. Thomas University
Adapted from the audio cassette
Seven Habits of Highly Effective People
by Steven Covey
| You can prepare yourself to succeed in your studies. | |
| Try to develop and appreciate the following habits: | |
|
Responsibility i recognition that to succeed you have to make decisons about your priorities, time, and resources |
|
Don't let friends and acquaintances dictate what you consider important. |
|
Follow up on the priorities you have set for yourself, and don't let others, or other interests, distract you from your goals. |
|
You win by doing your best and contributing your best to a class, whether for yourself, your fellow students, and even for your teachers and instructors. If you are secure in your performance, a grade becomes an external barometer of your performance (which may not coincide with your internally arrived at benefits). |
|
When you have an issue with an instructor, for example a questionable grade or an assignment deadline extension, put yourself in the instructor's place. Now ask yourself how you can best make your argument given his/her situation. |
|
For example, if you don't understand the course material, don't just re-read the material. Try something else! Consult with the professor, a tutor, an academic advisor, a classmate, a study group or your school's study skills center. |
|
Look to continually challenge yourself. |
