The most useful thing I learned was the cognitive switching penalty. I’ve always been a multitasker which leads to me taking constant breaks during assignments and studying. Anytime my phone would light up while reading I would look over disrupting my reading process. I use to get headaches a lot while growing up doing homework and now I wonder if this was why. I figured it was just because I hated schoolwork, so now I can say this was the reason.
This module got me to do some of my homework without the distraction of the TV or any other technology. I did have to break that rule to watch LSU vs Alabama and Minn vs PSU. Very good games.
I think I’ll put into practice some of the memory learning techniques. I almost forgot my girlfriend’s birthday and almost ended up single. Specifically, I thinking balancing my workload in the future is something that’ll help with memorizing material for my classes. I think I get too caught up in cram studying.
My advice to other students would be to put your work first as I think I’ve stated before. You really have to focus on taking care of your body. With a good mind and energy, take the time to isolate yourself to focus on your studies with minimal interruptions.
