1. Describe your current methods of study. How do you study for each class? 
    1. My current study habits is that I set certain times for each class. I create Cornell Notes styled notes and go back through each set and annotate and highlight the things of importance. I go through study guides and compare my notes to see if they are compatible. Then go through readings to add extra notes.
    2. What specific techniques do you use in class?  I do use Cornell notes style note taking and make sure everything is labeled to their concept.
    3. What specific techniques do you use outside of class? Some techniques I use outside of class is go back through reading and make sure I don’t I
  2. Identify one class in which you are doing well (not HLTH 101).   What study methods work best and why? I like to believe that I am doing really well in my Intro to Chemistry class. I go through the powerpoints completely and write down examples so if I am confused, I can find something similar to help me solve the problem. This actually does help a lot to me because it helps find a solution by looking at similarities.
  3. Identify one class where you are experiencing challenges and address the following questions.  The one class I am having trouble with is Sociology. The problems I am having are differing vocabulary that is very similar to each other. I try to use flashcards, but they don’t help me as well. Some strategies I can use is do more practice quizzes for example keeping recharging the quizzes on Connect. I need to study more after I have read the text and spend about an hour going back and finding if I missed something important. I need to focus more on vocabulary than worrying about dates as much. I am not taking as much advantage that is given to me. I can contact my professor if I have issues understanding or find some classmates to help me go over what we are learning to understand better. I do have some lack of motivation, but I do push myself to the best of my abilities. I haven’t had an exam yet in this course, but through other courses, going back through notes and comparing the study guide to it does help.
  4. Review at least 5 academic tips/resources listed here: https://www.odu.edu/success/academic/tips What is one new technique you could try in class to help you better understand the material? One new study technique that I looked into was the “study cycle” which is a process of five steps to make sure you are learning and understanding what the learning is trying to teach.
  5. What is one new technique you could try outside of class to help you better understand the material? One new technique I can use outside of class is working in study groups. We can go over material from previouses classes and we can make sure has an understanding.
