Who demonstrates the best practices of an active learner?
a. Stella must balance school with work, so she has to miss several classes. Because she's a bit
shy, she sits in the back and seldom asks questions. She gets all her work turned in on time
and thinks she's doing well enough that she doesn't have to visit the writing center.
b. Andy attends every class, but seldom takes notes because before any tests he plans to check
the PowerPoints the teacher has posted on Blackboard. He plans to wait until he sees his
midterm grade and go to the writing center if he needs to improve his grade.
c. Shanesha attends every class and takes notes that she checks against the postings the teacher
puts on Blackboard. She stops by her instructor's office if she has questions about
assignments and makes regular visits to the writing center. She keeps track of all her grades
and looks for ways to improve.
d. Devante sits near the back and does not ask questions, but he attends every class and always
brings his text. He has to leave right after class to go to work, so he can't visit the writing
center, but he asks his sister to look over his papers when she can. He hopes he is doing well
enough to pass the class.
