An important goal in education is to enrich you, the student, by expanding what you know and can do. It is important to realize, however, that the instructional materials and the teacher can only facilitate the process. You must make the commitment yourself to learn new skills. Below are a few suggestions to help you learn and grow.
1. Take notes.
Professionals in the networking field often keep Engineering Journals in which they write down the things they observe and learn.
Taking notes is an important way to help your understanding grow over time.
2. Think about it.
Any cources that provides information both to change what you know and what you can do. As you go through the information, ask yourself what makes sense and what doesn’t. Stop and ask questions when you are confused. Try to find out more about topics that interest you. If you are not sure why something is being taught, consider asking your teacher or a friend. Think about how the different parts of the course fit together.
3. Practice.
Learning new skills requires practice.No more comments.
4. Practice again.
Have you ever thought that you knew how to do something and then, when it was time to show it on a test or at work, you discovered that you really hadn’t mastered it? Just like learning any new skill like a sport, game, or language, learning a professional skill requires patience and repeated practice before you can say you have truly learned it.
5. Teach it.
Teaching a friend or colleague is often a good way to reinforce your own learning. To teach well, you will have to work through details that you may have overlooked on your first reading. Conversations about the new material with fellow students, colleagues, and the teacher can help solidify your understanding of the material.
