One of the useful thing students should understand how memory works. According to the chapter 4.5 Remembering the material, said Memory is the storing and retrieving information. and said exactly same how computers works. Which is actually computer hard drive job is to take all the information and retrieve it to the processors. This is exactly how human brain works. The chapter also talks about different strategies of how to memorize things faster and efficient manner. One of the strategy that I already use in my regular life style is Break down information into meaningful chunks. For example, memorizing the formulas for the physics mechanic sections then to memorize it was divided into its different section. This actually help me a lot in my physics class and during exams the equations were litterally in my finger tips and don’t even had to look for it.

One of the technique I found interesting is visualizing the information that the chapter mention. I think this is one of the strategy I would like to use in future because it can help me clear things and make my understanding of the information much better. I might utilize that in my future physics classes because there is a lot of visualization in there to understand the reference point which I still sometime struggle with.

One of the advice I personally want to give students when they are trying to memorize information is to make sure they first understand the material and this can help them memorize the info faster. And do it with calm mind because I know when I am not calm and stress out its hard me to understand the information and memorizes at the same time.

In Module 3, one of tbe most useful thing I have learned about procastination is not the same as someone being laziness. In the article, “How to Stop Procastinatons”, it stated Procastination is an active process where someone decide to do something else instead of the productive task. Where laziness is unwilling act, where you dont want to do anything.

One of the stratrgies I already practice that was mentioned in the article “5 Research based for overcoming Procastinations” that you should keep doing something. Just at least get yourself started. I already apply this strategies when I have to write essays for a class.

When of the strategies I am going to apply in the future would be promise myseld a reward. So what I could do is break my task into smaller portion and once I am done with one portion of the task I will give my self reward which can be a 15 min break where i can go on my phone and then I will get back to my next portion of the task.

One advice I would like to give the students is too recognize and accept the fact that you are Procastinating because most of the time students tend to go in a denial mode. Then look for the solution or the approach to stop procastinating.

As I was going through the module 2 which was about Online Learning Strategies and Skill, one of the most useful things that I have learned was how to work with group members in our online courses. Most of my courses are usually not online and they are on campus so Its easier for me to communicate with my group members. Thus, it was interesting to learn about the perspective of online group projects and how to communicate with them online as it can be difficult because sometimes students don’t reply to you as fast and quickly online as they would do over the phone. From the video, “5 Tips for Dealing with Lazy Group Project Members-College Infor Geek”, One of the best tips I learn is to how to keep track of deadlines or mini deadlines in the project. And make sure to keep it as organize as possible to assigning the task to the respective group member. And have one of the team members to create a checklist of the tasks that needs to be done and who is responsible for it. Then that member will keep track of the checklist to make sure everything is getting done on time. One of the tips that the guideline suggest was to utilize the google docs and how to make your project organize. That is one of the tips I already use in my group projects which I will bring it to online Projects too. So thus, for my electrical class we were assigned the group projects and we had to create reports. We used to google docs to keep track of our work and divide who will do what. Plus, the benefit to google drive is that almost everyone has it and it saves all your automatically and can easily share with other team members. Although, in our group projects we didn’t really assigned one member to keep track of the checklist and checking with everyone is doing okay then I will add that strategy in future. One of the advice l would like to give other students is to always communicate with your classmates and keep updated your professor all the time so that if there is any problem in your project prior to deadline that professor is aware of it and they can give you a good suggestion to tackle your problem as well.
