Reflecting helps me a lot, it kind of brings me back to reality in a way. This blog is going to help me notice some mistakes I've been making, and is going to show me what I need to work on. It is a good method to indicate yourself what needs to be finished, and how you're doing so far.
For the 40 books challenge, I feel as if I wasn't doing enough reading. I am barley on my fourth book, which is is bad. I am supposed to at least be on my seventh one. This quarter my goal is going to at least read 10 or more books. To help me accomplish this goal I am going to monitor how many pages I read a day, and am going to create a list with 10 books.
A strategy I have been using has been managing time. I like to work on things on certain days. When I'm working on homework, for example a blog I look at the clock and tell myself that I'm going to be done by x time. It doesn't really rush my work, if I need more time then I'll use it. It just gives me a goal, and I work better under pressure.
When I first started this class, I had never really done annotating. A little notes here and there, but never weekly. My annotating skills defiantly improved, and has improved my overall learning. Annotating gives me a closer look on things, and clears things out. If it weren't for annotating then I'd probably be completely lost through out aow's.
Vocabulary has effected my the most. It's easier to read challenging books, knowing some of the words. It also makes you looks better on your part, take this as an example. You're talking to a family member and suddenly they get confused. You say, "I'm sorry did I discombobulate you?" This makes them more confused, and also makes you look smarter in a way. There are just so many words that I didn't even know existed, and now I can use them.
Lastly, my research skills. I have improved in my research skills by looking more closely at text, annotating helps. Picking out the most important and relevant parts has effect me, I never knew how to decipher text, to figure out if it's important or not. I have a clear understanding of it now, and it helps me choose what's best.
Overall this first quarter has been very useful and educational for me. I learned many new things I never knew how to do. These things are going to help me in the future, which I am grateful for. I wish to learn more.
