Learning Style: Self Assessment.
\nMy Study methods differ from subject to subject, based on the difficulty of the subject
\nand my passion for the subject. The classes I take are: Statistics, Chemistry (Chemlab),
\nSociology and History. Among these subjects ], the ones that I find somewhat challenging are
\nthe ones which require a lot of reading like sociology and History but the ones that are
\nsomewhat a breeze for me are: statistics and chemistry because of the calculations they
\ninvolve. My study methods in class and outside class differ with each class, here are the ways i
\nstudy for each subject:
\nFor Statistics, in class I take the front seat to make sure that I stay attentive to
\nwhatever is taught. And I take down notes of important information. Outside the class I do all my
\nassignments for the class and study what was learned that day by doing the exercises posted
\nby my teacher on blackboard.
\nFor chemistry, I usually read the material before the class to gain a background
\nknowledge of what is going to be taught and then I take notes in class. Outside class I go for
\ntutoring and group study with people from my class.
\nFor Sociology class, I usually take notes and ask questions during class and
\nOutside class, I read ahead on my classes and prepare questions to ask for my next class. I
\nalso revise past quizzes for each topic.
\nFor history class, it\u2019s the only class I find somewhat challenging. I usually watch videos
\non my lectures and read documents from external sources pertaining to the lecture. I haven\u2019t
\ngone to tutoring yet but i plan on going for tutoring next week.
\nI am doing really well in my statistics class because of the study method i have
\nimplemented in this class, i take notes, and practice exercises of the topic taught.
\nStep 2
\nOne class I am currently struggling with is my History class.
\nPlanning:
\nThe study methods that will work best for me in this class are the study groups, going for office
\nhours and quizzing myself.
\nI will spend 1 hour studying for each day this week. I will give more attention to the classes and
\ntake notes in them. I will schedule office hours with my teachers. I will spend more time on the
\ntopics that my teacher outlined in the syllabus and fully understand them.
\nMonitoring :
\nIf I\u2019m being honest, I am not being really systematic in my studying of the material. I have not
\nfully taken advantage of all the learning support available to me. I am not fully motivated to
\nstudy the course material because of the amount of reading it entails. Although I know that I am
\ntaking this course as one of my major prerequisites for nursing school. I do not have any
\nconfusion with regards to this course.
\nEvaluating:
\nReading after every class has helped me for my retention long-term. Now for every test I don’t
\nhave to spend that much time trying to read what was taught in the past weeks, and on the day
\nof the test or the day before i just revise all i have read. I should never do last minute reading,
\nalthough I should do all my assignments on time, I should not think that doing assignments is a
\nreplacement for actually reading the course material.
\n4.
\nThe resources i reviewed are
\n– Forming a study group
\n– Reviewing syllabi
\n– Setting goals
\n– Note taking
\n– Time management
\n5.
\nThe resource I am going to implement into my study is note taking and time management. I am
\ngoing to take notes in each of my classes and study those notes. I will also allocate more time to
\nmy studying.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
