It happens all the time: to everyone , we all have experienced boring
teachers, subjects that are compulsory and not
interesting at all, you're in the middle of a class that is so boring,
Whether the teacher or the subject itself or both are boring, you get headache and
sleepy It’s true. Some lectures could
be more effective at putting you to sleep than attentive. Nevertheless,
attending lectures remains a key ingredient for performing well in college.But falling asleep during a lecture isn't going to win you any points
with your professor, Try the following tips, which will help you stay
awake during those 45 or 1 hour of lecture hell.
Scare yourself straight. "If I don't pay attention to this lesson
and remember every single sentence the teacher says I'll never get into
college. If I don't get into college, I'm never going to earn my degree. I'll
end up 35 years old, still living with my parents and no hopes of getting my
own house and family. No one will respect or dare depend on me for advice
or anything. Say those words to yourself, scare yourself that way and you will
pay attention.
Use the lecture as an inspiration. "Sitting there listening to the teacher ramble endlessly about the benefits of
chlorophyll really makes you realize that you've been taking your free time for
granted. Perhaps you think chlorophyll is not in your life not in your
interests and and hence the knowledge of it
will not benefit you in your life, but let me tell you that to every
lessons there is a test to test the achievement of it. That will help you try to pay attention
and remember the lesson. Its easier to put up a boring lecture than getting
over that pain of failing your exams that you have been working for almost all
the time of your life.
Even A students get bored by
lectures. What is the difference
between the A student and the C student? Their approach to
the lecture. Don’t let “boring” become an excuse for not showing up to
class. Dive right in, sit near the front ,chew gum, and simply face the
fact that you will be less than entertained for a couple of hours. Get in
the mental game and you will survive. OMG, this class is so boring! How
are you going to get through it?
One of
my friends from graduate school took impeccable notes, and before exams
everyone lined up to study with him. When I asked him his secret his
response surprised me: “I’m bored in class, so I write everything down.” That
is an A student approach to the
problem! Instead of avoiding lecture he planted himself close to the
front of the room and made it a bit of a game to literally write down word for
word what the professor said. Give it a try.
Absolutely read the material before class. If you are unfamiliar
with the course material then it will only magnify the boredom. Not
reading would be like signing up for a book club, going to the gathering but
never bothering to open the book. . How boring! Be sure to prepare
and stay in the loop.
When you are reading the material create
possible questions to ask in class (if the professor takes questions).
Participating in class speeds up time for you. And, you never know,
your question could prompt others to speak up and the class could take an
intriguing turn. Dare I suggest, you might enjoy the class then.
Do not take out
your phone to answer , chat or read emails.
Again, this will make the boredom worse. You are essentially
running away from the problem by turning to the cell phone rather than confronting
the issue head on. This is a C student response. Moreover,
it is a bad habit. After college you might find yourself in other boring
situations like work meetings. It is not a good (or beneficial) idea to
tune out and gravitate to your phone while others are talking. Indeed,
there will be times when your good friends bore you! Would you take out
your phone while they talk? Of course not. For class time,
strengthen your concentration abilities and keep the phone in your bag.
This last point is a bit painful
but it must be made, namely, are you making an effort in the
class? Finding something interesting, like recognizing beauty, takes time
and thought. Often, interest is the result of devoting energy to
appreciation of said subject (or object). When you learn more you will
discover more things to be interesting. The boring lecture just
might-maybe-possibly
-I’m-sorry-to-point-it-out, be indicative of your disposition
rather than the professor’s.
Overall, keep the end goal in mind:
to do well. We’ve all been through a boring lecture. You will
survive! Remember, it is your grade on the line, so don’t shy away from
the class even if you need to muster all of your brain power to stay alert.
Good luck!
