Module 7

The most important thing I learned in this module is finding a quiet place to study. Because I am not concentrative enough when I am studying, staying in a quiet place to do things is a great way for me to save my time to do my work. As long as the environment around me is quiet, I can focus on the things I am doing now and will not be attracted by other things. Using progress as a motivator is a method that I have already put into practice. Because I am not concentrative enough and I do know this fact before, I have tried m any ways to improve this, using progress as a motivator is one of these ways I have tried. It is efficient and through this way, I have become more focused and make my goals become easier for me to achieve. I want to try the time manage time tools in the future. I have heard these tools before but I haven’t try them. I would like to follow the instructions of these tools in order to improve myself. The advice I want to give is that making the most efforts to saving time. Saving time means we become more efficient, which can help us to achieve better academic success and make sure we can have enough time to relax.

The most useful thing I learned in this module is how to find reliable resources online when writing. Because we need to write many essay during our college life, we need to learn how to improve our writing skills. Finding some reliable resources can make the essay become more credible and make the essay become more detailed, which can help students to get a better grade.

I will use the university library to find the resources I needed or go to Nature and Science website to find them. The things I am going to put into practice is using google to search for resources. Although some resources in google may not be that credible, but there are more information related to my topic, I can choose to use which resources among many websites. The advice I want to give to college students is that using more resources when writing an essay. Resources can make the essay more reliable and get a better grades. Primary resources are the most reliable. When choosing resources online, we need to check the reliability, utility and so on.

In this week’s module 4, I Have learned many things that can help me to understand online study better and there are many methods which I think can help me to improve my study. For example, the most useful things in this module I think is interact with your online reading. For instance, highlighting important information is a great way to catch key words when reading online, and use the margin to summarize key ideas is an efficient way to understand the topic when studying. And these two things are also the things that I have put into practice before when I am studying, such as always highlighting the key words and important information and summarizing the topic in study. These two are important to my study that they can help me to understand the most important things in classes. These two can make the key ideas more clearly. The ideas I can put into practice in this module is making the most of memory. Because there are some efficient ways to remember things, if I can put these methods into practice, I can save more time to study more or relax, which will makes me become more efficient. The advice I want to share with students are reading more online like using e-books and learn some ways to help you remember things quickly.

Module5

The most important thing I learned in this module is how to use more online tools to help me to study better. For example, there are many study websites introduced in this module which I do not know before, such as Purdue writing club and so on. If we want to study better, these study website or app can help us. One example in this lesson that I have already put into practice is using study website. For example, when I have problem when I am learning, I used to use these website for help, such as checking the resources online and use the topic to sort my notes. These help me to understand my lessons much more better than before. I want to use more websites or apps in the future to help me get deeper understand of my class, such as using Purdue writing club and use bubble tree to make structures of my classes more clearly. The advice I would like to share to students or working professors is using more websites during your study time.

Module 3

This module is focused on how to save time and work more efficiently. There are many things that can prevent us from being focused, such as procrastination. In order to solve this problem and work better than before, this module has introduced many methods to us. For example, track our time, set up a calendar, break big things into small pieces, and so on.

The most useful things I learned in this module is setting up a calendar and finish my work step by step by following the calendar I have made in advance. In this case, I can know what I need to do exactly and will not waste my time doing somethings else.

The special example I have already put into practice is track my time and then make a calendar in my study. I have track my time in the past 7 days and realize that how many time I have wasted last week, so I set up a calendar to encourage myself to study more and make the time wasted minimal.

I can practice to break big things apart and do them step by step in the future. For example, I plan to break the preparation for exams into many small pieces, like today studying math and another day preparing for other subjects. This will save time for me.

The advice is that if we want to study better, we can try to set up a calendar to manage our time in order to save more time for both study and relax. This will not only help us become more efficient but also become more satisfied.

Reflection of Module 2

The most useful skill I learned in this module is how to post a blog. I seldom use blog to post my feelings before, but now, after viewing the module 2, I realizing that posting a blog in the website is a good way to share my ideals with my classmate. If I want to share something with my group members, I can share these in the blog and let others know what I’m think about. The things that I have already used in the module is writing academic email and send it to my instructor and classmates. For example, when I have some question I will use email to ask my instructor for help. Emailing them is a great way to deal with problems in study. The thing I can put into practice in the future is that I want to learn more about how to use communication and collaboration tools. Because I do not know how to use these, I will use these more frequently in order to communicate better with my group members. The advice I want to give to students is that communication is a great way to help our study, so we can practice online communication tools more to have a better communication with our group members and instructors.
