College Clubs Keeping Students Engaged

By Darrel Jefferson


Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the most crippling disorders that anyone can deal with, especially when they're involved in an educational setting. Networking majors suffering from ADHD should pursue all medicinal and therapeutic means in an effort to control the problem.

It is good to be inquisitive. When you see things on the syllabus you may have some things that stand out. Ask the professor about them. Make sure that you ask students that took the class before what they did to make him/her happy. They have gone through all of the stress for you and that will only make your life that much easier.

Professors often map things out for you during lectures, so instead of watching the paint peel from the wall, you should probably be taking notes. Most professors will even ask questions that will be directly on the test. If you aren't paying attention, then you won't be ready come test day.

It's wise for every student to look into what clubs are being offered and then research them to see if they're something that they want to get involved in. Odds are they will find that the clubs that are available are well within what they like to do on a daily basis. There's something that has to be said about people who get involved with like-minded individuals. The atmosphere of ideas that would be exchanged is difficult to find anywhere else. You have to be willing to break out of your shell before you decide that it's time to join a club.

Whether it is a test, essay, or just an assignment, you will see some of the quirks in your professor's personality. As they come out, make sure you take notes. You don't want to make the same mistake twice. Your first assignment and test should be your lower grade because it is really where you are trying to guess what your professor is looking for. By the end, you will be an expert in understanding your professor.

The biggest problem with being overly prideful when it comes to ADHD is that you don't have to be that way. You will notice an immediate effect in your school performance once you start your treatment program. Nothing will happen unless you first step up to the plate to take action and change your current predicament.

One thing that networking students who happen to have ADHD do is make excuses for their situation. They always claim that they suffer from the disorder when really overcoming the problem is something that's well within their control.

Make sure you use these tips to get inside of your professor's brain before the semester ends. You will find it is much easier to succeed and do well on tests. It's all about understanding the human side of your professor and in the end it will be worth it because you will have gained a friend and strengthened your network.
