Module 5

When using a resource for an essay, article, academic purposes, or any other thing, it’s very important to make sure that the source is a great source. There are three ways to incorporate this before using the course. The first one is to make sure that the source is reliable. There are many ways to this. You want to make sure that you check the dates, see that’s not bias, and avoid anonymous authors. Making sure the source an author isn’t bias play a very important key, as it could make or break your case in an article. These are just to name a few. Second, make sure that the source is of a high quality. You can do this by finding an article that back ups any statements with evidence and facts. The third way of making sure you have a good source is by how you utilize it. Now, you can find a good source that has all the components of, but it doesn’t relate to your topic that much, then you’re just wasting your time, and chances are, you could find a better one that could relate to your topic.

 

One more tip, when writing a research paper, don’t forget to cite your sources.

Module 4

This week, we examine many different strategies that are considered to be the most effected, when taking notes. As a college student, everyone know how crucial it is to take notes during class. Because we get so much information, and there are many topics that are covered during lecture, our brain can’t possibly fathom being able to recap every detail the professor is saying without forgetting some important aspects of it. This is where taking notes come in handy. There might’ve been. So you might wonder, which isĀ  the best strategy to use while taking notes? I think that actively listening while a lecture os a speech is been given has to be key in a successful note taking. Also, studies show that your brain is able to remember more efficiently when you write notes with a pen, instead of taking notes on a laptop or tablet. Now you know, as a student, which route to go with when taking notes.

Module 3

While we received many great strategies to follow to help us with our time management skills, it still could be challenging to be be on your best. These last few weeks have been hard on a lot of people, and caused a huge shift on their schedule. What’s I’d advise students to do would be to just take it one step at a time, and then it would all work out. The most useful thing I learned in module 3 would be how I’d look at my 24 hours now. I’m going to account each of those 24 hours to the best of my ability, in order to make sure I prioritize my most essential task that need to get done. This will cause better management in my time, because I know exactly what needs to be done, and at what time it needs to be done. Again, my advise for the students would be to take it a step at a time. It might not be easy to try and changing, or making a schedule, but it would make a huge difference in our schedule pattern, and you would be more proactive overall in your work. There are many different strategies to help in getting organize. If one doesn’t work I’m sure another one will.
