Searching and Researching Blog Post

The most useful thing I learned in this module is finding the best ways to find resources especially when it comes to looking for good and helpful resources and how to find the best ones for me. Another helpful thing I learned is the different research questions to ask yourself and how to develop the best research questions when doing a research paper. A example from this module that I already have applied is when I do the pre research for my paper I am very familiar with this because sometimes for me it can be the most time consuming thing to do. Another thing I could use from this module is making sure my research I find is creditable and is of good quality this can make or break your paper as your basing your paper off this information so finding the right information could be crucial when writing a good research paper. Advice I would give my student peers is to make sure the quality of your research you find is good so you can get the A you want as well as finding the best questions to ask when developing your paper these questions could help you create a better research paper and get the grade you want.

Web-Enhanced Listening and Viewing Strategies Blog Post

The most useful thing I learned in this module is adapting focusing on reading throughout my studies I think this can be useful because paying attention when your reading can help you get and gain more from the readings and you can absorb information better and retain that information if you keep your focus on the readings and paying attention to what those readings are saying you can get more from them. Not only paying attention to readings is helpful but also when it comes to reading directions if you pay attention more to your directions your more likely to understand the information given and when it comes to following the directions you’ll be more likely to get a better grade on your project/ assignment because you’ll be more likely to understand what you have to do.  A way I adapted these skills is taking notes on what readings I have and reading the directions for my assignments more than once so I better understand what I have to do for my assignment and I can take in the information better and am more likely to retain the information or directions that are given to me so I can do better on assignments and learn more on my readings.

Module 4: Web enhanced reading and study strategies

The most useful thing I learned in this module is memorization in learning I put this into action in my math class because half of algebra incorporation in math is memorizing the formulas and applying this during my class with homework’s tests etc. Using this in my real life is easily applicable because memorization is learning and keeping those memorized in your head and applying them not only in my classes but in real life too can be extremely helpful. Advice I would give students based on my experience is that memorization is extremely useful when it comes to learning and discovering how to use memorization and apply it to your studying habits could change the way you learn and improve it immensely.  A specific example from this module that I could apply to the future is avoiding multi tasking doing this will help me keep my mind set on one thing and to achieve my set goal and get it done without distractions around me if I avoid multi tasking. I can put do this by only focusing on this assignment and trying to get it done without doing other things distracting me like my cat trying to jump on my keyboard.
