Im in college and cant seem to pay attention to the instuctor?
Question:
Answer:
That's awesome! It must be totally frustrating, though. I agree with the first respondent who said the best trick is to read the material before class. If you know what he's going to be talking about all you have to do is figure out what you missed in your own reading. It's much easier to just learn a little bit from a goof than it is trying to learn everything from a goof.
Another suggestion is to keep a tally box. On the side of your notes, make a column for "today's outfit" and "goofy remarks." Take notes on both of these things. That way you'll let your mind react to the goofiness, but can put it out of your system when it's down on paper. Then after class, you can look it all over and compare notes with friends.
Oh, by the way, if Kenny walks in to substitute -- run!
1. Get a good night sleep beforee class
2. READ the material befor class, it is easy for the mind to wander when you have no idea what the guy is talking about.
3. Talk to him after class, ask about his credentials. Maybe if you understand that he went to school for maybe 10 years after HS he can earn some respect. (Don't laugh while you are talking to him) - In other words make him human to you.
At least he doesn't sound like Chef!
You just have to pay attention to what the teacher is saying..not the teacher itself coz u will really lose your concentration...if he's explaining something, just focus your eyes in different direction but focus your ears in what he/she is saying.
Get a good recorder.
Record it. I got a 128MB Mach Speed Trio MP3 player, for $16 off of ebay. It has a little function to record voice. It can pick up a lot of stuff. If you're really far away from the teacher, like in a big auditorium, it might be hard... but you can test it. There's other mp3 players that can do this, I just said mine because it was so cheap. In fact, if I made a habit out of recording my teachers, I'd probably get a better one. I think there are digital voice recorders at Wal-Mart, electronics, and office-supply stores, too.
