Listening is so simple that I do it without trying. I just come to class and pay attention. Nothing else is involved.
I try to minimize distractions during class so I can really listen to what my instructor is saying. For example, I try to sit near the front of the room and away from people who talk during class.
When I don't like something my instructor says during a lecture or if I disagree with his or her point of view, I tend to close my mind to the rest of the lecture.
