Weekly Blog 4 | Exam 1 Reflection
After seeing the results from the test, it confirmed my thought that “I can do better.” The struggle for me is not the material, it’s more so learning how to study in a way that works for me personally. I’m in an experimental stage with figuring this out as it is something I have never learned or was encouraged to learn in the past.
Me after seeing my test score….
I’m learning that beyond the time I put aside for studying, I have to organize and interact with the material in a way that makes my studying time fruitful. Initially working through the modules helps the information become familiar, so by the time I study it has the opportunity to set in to where I can recall it for a test. But simply filling out the study guide and reading over it was not effective for me, I’m learning. Reflecting on the tactics I used this time will help me iterate my studying tactics for the next test, as I will go beyond just the study guide as studying material.
I have learned effective learning techniques from my Cognitive Psychology class regarding effective encoding and retrieval, so I will definitely implement a few of these strategies.
