“Everyone is the architect of their own learning.”

-Claudius

No one can take your knowledge away from you, as well as known is in control of your learning but you. You decide what is important in your learning, what to fill your mind with. You shape your learning not only in school but in all bases, such as learning how to tie your shoe, or learning new skills in a job. Never make the mistake in architecting a mind of choosing the wrong. Architect a mind full of choosing the right which will lead you to a successful future. An example is you can architect you learning in just reading a book your vocabulary will expand.

Learn actively and not passively. Be anxiously engaged in your studies and you will have a great experience. Demonstrate a good attitude toward home assignments, and you will begin to love doing it.

Organize the Information

7.  .  .  . understand the 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 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.
8.  .  .  . talk about what they’re learning. Successful students get to know something well enough that they can out it into words. Talking about something, with friends or classmates, is not only good for checking whether or not you know something, it’s a proven learning tool. Transferring ideas into words provides the most direct path for moving knowledge from short-term to long-term memory. You really don’t “know” material until you can put it into words. So, next time you study, you don’t do it silently. Talk about notes, problems, readings etc. with friends, recite to a chair, organize an oral study group, pretend you’re teaching your peers. “Talk-learning”  produces a whole host of memory traces that result in more learning.
