I’ve learned a lot from this course, also I’ve learned about resources and apps that can make my time as a student a whole lot easier. One of the things that I liked about this course the most was that I can apply them to other parts of my life and not just my academic life. The time management module for me was one of the most impactful and helpful parts of this course. As we all know most college students struggle with time management this course gives a lot of tips to help with that. Such as finding a proper place to study and do work because most of the times we try to do work in places that we can get easily distracted. Lastly, I loved the Trello app that was introduced because it can help many people who struggle with managing their time.
Another major take away from this class how to set goals and being motivated while trying to achieve that goal. Personally, I’m the type of person who sets a major goal and only look at that goal. I wouldn’t look at the small goals that lead up to achieving that major goal and get discouraged slowly over time. However, After reading and learning the material that was in this course it brought to my attention that I was setting goals and trying to achieve them incorrectly. Since then I’ve been setting weekly goals to finish out the semester I’ve been way more motivated and have been getting better grades. My end Goal for the semester was to finish with 4 As and allow one B. It also helped me with my athletic life when I’m at practice.
My last major take away is the online note-taking. Some of the resources that my fellow classmates had given I feel can be a big help. Also, the tips to note-taking because most people just write down what they think is important and not try to understand what they’re writing. The strategies I feel are most helpful for people who don’t know how to take proper notes.
Personally, I feel that every freshman coming into college should take this course because it will make their college experince a whole lot easier.
