	*CBU Biology Student Survival Tips* How to be a student Everything you wanted to know about being a successful student How to study math and science Reading in the sciences
*Using “Learning Style” Information to Become a Successful Student* “It's fine and appropriate to work within your strength the FIRST time you encounter difficult material, but if you want to LEARN it you should reinforce your original studies by using strategies that are normally part of your 'weakness.' Hence, in the end, your weakness will no longer BE a weakness, and you will have struggled with the information enough that you will KNOW it.” -- Dr. T. Dehne, Oct. 2002
People need to have things trumpeted into their ears several times and from all directions. The first sound pricks up the ear, the second shakes it, and with the third, it goes in. Source: Laennec, René-Théophile-Hyacinthe. Letter to his cousin Meriadec, June 8, 1821 [As cited in Duffin J, To See with a Better Eye, p. 240 (q.v.)].
"Your zeal for the pupils under your guidance would be very imperfect if you expressed it only in words. It will become perfect only if you practice yourself what you are teaching them. Your example makes a much greater impression on minds and hearts than words do. Students are led more readily to do what they see done for them than to carry out what they hear told them, particularly when the words they hear are not in harmony with the actions they see." John Baptist de La Salle: The Educator and Visionary
