As I live my life as a student studying and note taking has become something I’ve needed to redouble my commitment to. In my past like many students I did not take many notes if any. I did not find it very inspiring to say the least. As well my grades did not reflect one who did not take notes. Upon coming to college however I found myself struggling with that style of learning which only took me down over time. I implore all students of all ages to cultivate this skill as it will only help them in the future. This module was incredibly helpful to me as I move forward as giving myself more opportunities and techniques to use will allow myself to be more flexible when it comes to topics and courses in the future. Specifically the Cornell method seems to be incredibly helpful to digesting information and becoming a more active listener in my studies and life.  Becoming an active listener is an idea from this module that would be on incredible help to anyone in any facet of their life. Actively listening allows one to be truly and honestly involved in discussions and allow for them to get to real solutions. That is incredibly important for people in general.

The most useful thing i learned this module is absolutely the concept of breaking down my projects. its so incredibly important for me to break them down to be able to work through my projects over time. For example I used breaking my projects down in my other courses to work on larger projects over time. I did a CSE project that would have taken me multiple hours over a few days and by doing that i felt as if i always came back to the project with more ideas and more information to help me work through the project even faster than i even thought i would. I could use the calendar in the future. It could be even more important than breaking down my projects as it would help me keep track and at least budget enough time to do my projects at once. My advice to students in the future would absolutely be to write every thing down and plan. I understand how easy it is to forget and move along with your life. Its so very easy to just move until something is due on the final day. You have to fight that. you must drive yourself and move forward. its just incredibly important.
