    EP 13: 10 Things Successful Students Do Differently, According to the People Who Grade Them
    2025/07/30
    You know the ones. By Week 3, these students have already emailed you. They show up, take notes, ask smart questions, and somehow still smile during group work. They’re not working harder, they’ve just unlocked the cheat code. (And no, not the kind that lands them in front of the Dean.) 🎧 In this episode of The What and Who of EDU, we asked instructors: what are the habits that actually set students apart? From growth mindset to academic risk-taking, these are the real-world patterns that quietly predict success, straight from the people who grade the work. 🎓 Key Takeaways Show up ready. And then show up again. Manage your time like your mom is watching. Study like you brush your teeth. Learn the story, not just the answers. Know how you learn. Ask for help early and often. Believe you can grow. Stay curious. Practice until it’s automatic. Level up... on purpose. 📌 Featured Educators Dr. Eric Chiang is currently a Professor-in-Residence in Economics at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
