Characteristics of a Successful Student
Many
students do not know what it takes to be successful in the educational
environment. They understood good and bad grades in a general way, and they
sense that they should attend classes, but that is where their knowledge begins
and ends.
Most
instructors know what a good student is – and is not. For one thing, a good
student is not necessarily the most intelligent individual in the class.

The
following is a list of some characteristics of good students. This list is a
description of what a hard-working student does and what a teacher likes to
see. By learning these characteristics, you may better understand the
day-to-day and class-to-class behavior of successful students. The idea is to
provide you with guidelines you can follow which will help you get down to
business of becoming a serious, successful student.

Successful students attend classes regularly. They are on time. They listen and
train themselves to pay attention. If they miss a session, they feel obligated
to let the instructor know why before class begins, if possible, and their
excuses are legitimate and reasonable. They make sure they get all missed
assignments (by contacting the instructor or another student), and understand
specifically what was covered in class. Successful students take responsibility
for themselves and their actions.
