STUDENT HELPS
By Mr. R. N. Krecker
This is the second in a series of
articles which are designed to assist
the students of the local Center in
the achievement of their academic
objectives. The following suggestions
are intended to supplement those
given in the first article of this series,
and they will be of greatest help to
the students who clip them from this
sheet and keep them in their note
books for easy reference.
Some students have a misconcep
tion of the educational process. They
feel that it is a process of infusion in
which the instructor is the main per
former rather than being a process
of absorption in which the student
takes the initiative. Education is
merely an opportunity, not a promise.
What the student gets out of his edu
cation depends upon what he puts
into it. Study is hard work, but the
rewards it brings in knowledge and
ability furnish an ever-present in
centive. In this column no “open
sesame” will be offered, but sugges
tions will be made that can improve
study efficiency.
Absences and Tests
On the average, every absence from
class reduces a student’s success in
examinations as measured by his
grade. A monetary loss of approxi
mately $1.25 to each student who
misses one fifty minute class. This
loss is now probably higher in the
light of higher prices.
The student should also devote
himself to the various tests as they
are given and understand that they
are intended to reveal to himself the
degree of adequency of his prepara
tion quite as much as to the in
structor.
Reading is not study.
Study may be defined as the appli
cation of effort necessary to acquire
and assimilate the ideas presented in
the reading material.
Reading is only the first step of
study.
The student may acquire ideas by
reading, but to study he must assi
milate these ideas, i. e,, make them
a part of himself so that he can ex
plain and apply them.
The student must grasp, thus,
ideas and reconstruct them for him
self, so that they will be whole and
complete in his mind in terms of his
own vocabulary.
Learining Factual Matter
One learns the printed page in
part by reading it, but chiefly by re
calling the content.
Indefinitely, rereading such ma
terial does not fix it in one’s mind.
Understanding the material is not
learning it.
The red, white, and blue will never
fade if we act White, overcome the
Blues, and give the Red nothing to
harp on.
