Learning Style

  1. My current methods of study, is going over and reviewing my notes from the previous class or classes. I take my notes in two different colors in order to remember the criteria and then I proceed to go back and highlight important topics or ideas along with adding notes and comments on the sides.
  • The only specific technique I use in class really, would be taking my notes in two different colors to differentiate the topic and/or word being defined from the topic(s) I’m explaining and the definitions I am writing.
  • The specific techniques that I use outside of class, is going back and highlighting important information and adding new comments and notes after reviewing that particular classes powerpoint again.
  1. One class that I am doing well in is Chem 105N. The study methods I use is writing in two different colors and going back and reviewing certain topics that I don’t understand on top hat quickly before Professor Moloney can move onto the next topic. Another study method that I use is I also watch youtube videos on topics that I don’t understand in that class. Specifically, I recently used Youtube to review conversion methods and multiple conversion methods to study for my chem test that I had earlier this evening.
  2. I am experiencing challenges in History. To help solve that, I have already begun to go back and add comments to my notes and I have used the resource of study groups in order to help study and review topics that I don’t particularly understand too well in that class. I plan on also continuing to monitor and evaluate what study methods help me now and what methods will end up helping me in the future.
  3. The five tips I reviewed were: stay focused, time management, overcome procrastination, participation and reading comprehension. One new technique that I could use in class is to stay focused. I have a bad habit of getting easily distracted if I feel as though the topic I am currently learning about and listening to the professor speak about doesn’t fully engage me and keep my interest
  4. One new technique that I could and fully intend to try outside of class is to overcome procrastination. I procrastinate A LOT due to the fact that I easily get distracted. The reason I continue to do so is because even though I do procrastinate, I still manage to get all of my work done. I personally need to get out of my mindset because that will be my downfall once I begin to take 200, 300, and 400 level classes in the years to come.
