Active listening means you are attempting to learn from whoever is teaching (whether that’s an instructor or a classmate). It also involves paying attention to verbal and nonverbal cues, asking questions for clarification, and demonstrating understanding during interactions. Seek to learn through listening rather than simply preparing your side of the conversation. You don’t have to agree, but you can learn!"
