It is one thing to attend classes,
but getting the best from the lecture
session is a different ball game
entirely. I have outlined the following
as steps to take if you desire to get
maximum benefits from your
lectures.

1. Come before the lectures
begin: endeavor to be at the
lecture venue (class) not later
than 30 minutes to
commencement of the lectures.
The benefits of this cannot be
over emphasized. It puts the
mind in a relaxed mood, ready
for learning. You also get the
chance to make brief revisions
before the lecture commences.
Do this a few times and you'll see
it becoming a part of you.

2. Sit in the front: O' yes! The back
seat they say is meant for late
comers and noise makers
(*chuckles*). Sit in front where
the chances of you being
distracted are minimal. You also
get to hear the lecturer clearly.

3. Come prepared: just like a farmer
goes to the farm with farming
implements, go to the class with
whatever is required of you or
things needed for convenience
such as calculator, mathematical
sets, pencils, booklet, pen, bottled
water and the likes. Remember,
your aim for attending the
lecture is to get knowledge/ideas
from the tutor. All of these
materials at your disposal will see
to this goal being achieved.

4. Write, write and write intelligible:
An old Chinese proverb says that
“the faintest ink is more
powerful than the
strongest memory”. Endeavor to
write during lectures. Put down
important points, employ the use
mnemonics, retrieval cues, and
whatever will aid retention and
recall of what has been taught.

5. Ask questions: no lecturer who
knows his/her onions
will penalize you for
being inquisitive. When an aspect
of your course content is not well
understood, do ask questions!
This is to ensure that learning
objectives are achieved and no
grey area is left unattended to.

6. Stay away from that noisy friend
during lectures: Loquacious,
hyperactive, playful... You know
them. You also risk being sent
out of the class for being a
nuisance along with them. Avoid
them, it'll benefit you and that
also sends a message to them
that such actions are
unacceptable.

7. Open you mind: go to class/
lectures with the mind-set of
learning something new. Be open
to new ideas/knowledge.
Appreciate the fact that the
instructor has spent considerable
amount of time putting together
the learning content.

This steps aren't exhaustive, however they sure will help you get the best during lecture sessions as a student.


When you adhere to this few
steps, be sure of getting the best from
that lecture and ultimately getting
that eye-popping CGPA!

Very very true. Let me also point out that asking questions in class is a way of gaining favour with your lecturers if your questions are intelligible.

Go to the front seat and record everything from the beginning to the end and play it back and practice.

What do you have that cheap Infinix phone for?

I did that during my Computer Programming classes and made an A.

Might not work with some courses though, but just be creative.
