why participation is essential to learning

You are what you repeatedly do. Habits, not intentions, are the root of long-term success in your plans and life.

This especially applies to learning. Participation is the core of active learning. Passive learning means sitting there WAITING for the tutor to put the knowledge in your brain. Active learning is asking questions, being part of discussions, being excited about your learning, and sharing what you have learned! Your tutor cannot do that for you!

Only you can do this for YOU!
