Module 7:Maintaining Motivation Blog Post

Hello everyone, we have learned about motivation and how to avoid distraction in this chapter. I think the knowledge of this chapter is very practical and can be used in daily learning. In particular, how to avoid distraction and the information about sleep shared in reference also helps me a lot. I think my sleep is good in my life now. I have the intention to keep enough sleep time and avoid staying up late. At the same time, I also think sleep quality is very important. A good sleep can relax the body and mind. In the article “how sleep help us deal with stress”, the author analyzes the importance of sleeping to human body and the release of pressure. I think sleep is a noticeable problem. In the future study, I hope to apply the method in the video “how to avoid disorders and stay focused while studying – 5 practical tips!”. I haven’t been able to be very focused on my study and work. I am often disturbed by social media or fragmented information, which affects my learning efficiency and quality. There are many ways to help with this video. For example, separating mobile phones from other sources of fragmented information will help us find fewer mobile phones. In the life and study of college students, I think sleep is still a problem worthy of attention. Because many students will stay up late, work and rest irregularly or face too much study pressure. This time we need to learn to use sleep to adjust our mood.

Module 6:Searching and Researching Blog Post

Hello everyone! In this week’s chapter, we learn about writing from chapter six. I think the two most useful parts are learning how to improve the ability of writing, and how to find better references and scholar articles. In the video “tips for writing a college research paper”, the author gives several suggestions. I think it’s important to write the outline and reread them. To write a composition well, you need a logical outline first, so that you can write it more orderly. At the same time, only by reading the article again after writing can we find that more errors in the article make the article more coherent. Secondly, in the video “how to use google scholar to find journal articles | essay tips”, I also learned how to use Google to search for more effective articles for reference. In the past, I have been able to write an outline before writing an article and I think it is a very effective method. In the future writing study, I will pay more attention to reread the articles, and learn how to use Google to search journal articles to enrich the articles. Google is a tool with many functions. We should make better use of it. I think writing ability is also very important for college students. Learn how to write organized articles and insert reference scholar articles.

Module 5:Web-Enhanced Listening and Viewing Strategies Blog Post

Hello everyone, in Chapter 5, the most useful and worth discussing knowledge I learned is about taking notes. Taking notes is a very common thing in life, but the ability to take notes correctly and efficiently also needs good methods. In this chapter, PPT and reference analyze the advantages and disadvantages of handwritten notes and online notes. In my opinion, handwritten notes and computer notes have different characteristics. Everyone can choose the way to take notes according to different preferences. In the video “taking notes in class”, the video shows various ways to take notes and many small tips to make notes clearer. I think it’s all very helpful. In my current study, I take notes every day, and I have my own way of taking notes. I think it’s very effective and fast. I think it’s very important to mark the key points with bulletpoints in the video. Because there are only a few key points that need to be highlighted in the notes, we need to mark them. In the future, I have considered buying an iPad to record notes. Because handwritten notes can’t write a lot of words in a short time. At the same time, computer notes can add many illustrations and examples, which will be more effective for notes. At the same time, I also want to learn the method of making brainstorm in the video to take notes. By extending a key point and extending different small points, I can make the notes clearer. As a student, taking notes is something we need to do every day. At the same time, learning to take notes in the right way can improve our learning efficiency, so let’s practice our ability of taking notes together!

 

Module 4: Web-Enhanced Reading and Study Strategies 1159

Hello everyone! This is Cici Feng.

This week we mainly learned about online reading and learning strategies in module 4. This chapter provides many ways to read, recite and learn. Combined with the video provided in the chapter, I have learned a lot and hope to apply these knowledge into my life. The most useful thing I learned in this chapter is that we should learn scientific learning instead of boring learning. Through the video “scientifically proven best ways to study”, I learned that in our daily life, exercise, sleep and diet can affect and change our learning efficiency. Proper exercise and enough sleep can guarantee our efficient learning quality. In the past study, I have done the effective note taking mentioned in the chapter. It is also mentioned in this chapter that we should emphasize the key parts of learning, which can help us remember. I will pay attention to the important points and unnecessary points in my notes. I think it’s very important to extract the most important part from a large number of studies. In the future study, I want to do more scientific study. In fact, I don’t exercise much, so I hope to ensure that I can exercise more than once a week, so that appropriate sports can increase learning efficiency. At the same time, I can improve my physical fitness. I think every students need to exercise more. Nowadays, students need stronger body and higher study efficiency.

 

Module 3: Efficiency in the Digital Age for ESEPSY 1159

Hello, I’m Cici Feng.

In this module, I have learned more about time management and effective task implementation. In our daily study and life, we are easily disturbed by different things and lead to low efficiency. Many times, due to different media interference and our own procrastination habits, we will not be able to complete the task as planned. This chapter provides many methods and explanations for us to improve our efficiency and ability of scheduling. I have a deeper understanding of the habit of procrastination and learned how to arrange calendars and tasks on the Internet.

In the current study, I have been working on the calendar and arranging the tasks in the schedule. Although I don’t use a schedule on the Internet, I choose to use a handwritten calendar to add tasks that need to be done. I think this method is very effective. I can clearly understand the tasks and things I need to do. This can improve my work efficiency.

In the future study, I want to use the Google task function to make further reminders. At the same time, I want to stay away from media interference. Because there are so many pieces and tempting information on mobile phones and computers, which will interfere with my efficiency, I can try to put them aside.

For the current students, I think it is very necessary to do a good job in time management. At the same time, students should not have the habit of procrastination. Forming an efficient habit and using the tools to improve efficiency can make our study more organized.

Module 2: Communicating and Collaborating [ESEPSY 1159]

Hello everyone, I am Cici! I want to share with you what I learned in module 2.

Module 2 shares the importance of netiquette. On the fourth and fifth pages of PPT, it introduces the influence of Netiquette on personal image on the Internet. Because we express our opinions through words, pictures or expression packs on the Internet, other people on the Internet can’t see our expressions and states. Careless or extreme words are likely to lead to misunderstanding and even disputes. Therefore, we should also follow the rules and etiquette of communication on the Internet.

In PPT page 7, 8 and 9, we mentioned some problems that should be paid attention to when sending email. I think it’s also very important to know how to send email correctly. The polite wording and correct format required in the email will make the recipient feel respected. On the contrary, if the email format is not correct, it will also give a sense of perfunctory and disrespectful. I pay attention to Netiquette and email formats, for example, when I share my views with others, I’ll use a more moderate voice. I can pay more attention to my position than to deny others. At the same time, my words should not be offensive. When I send an email, I will have a fixed email format and check it after I finish writing it. In the future, I hope I can not only pay attention to network etiquette and email format, but also influence others to be more polite.

As a college student, I think it’s very important to pay attention to Netiquette and email etiquette. When we develop this habit, we will communicate more smoothly on the Internet in the future. So, let’s also develop good network etiquette and the habit of sending information emails together in our university study and life!
