This course was great for from my individual perspective. Just adjusting from high school to college in short amount of time was just a great experience. I’ve learned so much in the short weeks, multiple different learning skills that have taken my education to a different level and not only that, I’ve used them in my other class as well.

One that I want to focus on is the Time management skills; I thought it made so much sense to me, the sooner the better. For example the process of stop procrastination was helpful because I know I have a serious issue when it comes to this. This section focused on major tools you can use to get you over the hump whenever you get caught up in the habit of postponing when you’re going to do something. People usually wait to the last minute and feel that they’re giving less than 100%.

The understanding of communication when it comes to collaborating with a partner that you never really meet is maybe the most important skill that I learned in one of the Modules. Also, knowing a schedule and being on the same page with that other student is helpful.  A lot of the basic information I will share via email or even text multiple times, so those I work with will come together as one unit to get the job done. If you were ever to participate in collaboration and you never physically met with your partner, you should really focus on the communications and taking full advantage of you sources within technology. This experience was very helpful in understanding of correct feedback to get a better connection with your partner.

Practicing my MLA citation was also very useful when it came down to completing these assignments. I was familiar with it since I used it in high school so it was great reviewing it again. For example on that site when I had to complete a specific search string that was required I used this information multiple times. This helped me narrow down my searches to find the best of researched material.

I also found that not all the links that came up on my searches were 100% correct when trying to find the simple information, basically something like false advertisement. Getting adapted to easy.bib in high school made things easier for a transition to library.osu.edu but you still have to check for the accuracy. Everyone basically knows that those sites aren’t constantly right, especially when it comes down to citing the correct information that is not provided.

Personally I felt the pod-casts and listening skills and comprehension skills throughout the presentation helped the process of getting the correct answers to multiple questions. If you thought about how important it was to take notes before a quiz or a test, and then use those same resources to get information to study for those active quizzes that are about to occur, you would understand how important this is to preparing for assignments and tests. If you ask me, that’s the greatest tool you could use to organize yourself to study next to the study guide. Also, a lot depends on how well you want to do, and this is something only you can decide.

Module 6 was great for me because of the different sites that we given such as library.osu.edu came in handy. Learning the basic tools to it gives me the access to thousands of resources to locate what I’m looking for. Practicing my MLA citation was also very useful when it came down to completing these assignments. I used it in high school so it was great reviewing it again. For example on that site when I had to complete a specific search string that was required I used this information multiple times. Which helped narrow down my searches to find the best quality of information.

I also found out that not all the links that came up on my searches were 100% accurate when when trying to find the basic information, basically something like false advertisement. Getting accustomed to easy.bib in high school made things easier for a transaction to library.osu.edu but you still have to check for the accuracy and we all know that those sites aren’t always right, especially when it comes down to cited the correct information that is not provided. But to check if they were right you go to the OWL which stands for (online-writing-lab) which was very helpful to all students.

This video gives us a brief summerization of how sports can help better your health. For example participating in sports can keep you in good shape and also keep your image looking as up to date also. Then understanding how sports is something that keeps people focused and away from doing negative things to get in trouble etc.

This was definitely helpful to me because I’m not sure on what major I want to take, so this informational video gave me a better outlook on what to study. Knowing that there are millions of majors to choose from this gave me a better outlook on which to take.

Module 5 help 100% on understanding the importances of Note taking. Personally I felt pod-cast and listening and comprehension skills throughout the process of getting the correct answers to multiple question. If you though about important it was to take notes before a quiz or a test, and then using those same resources to get information to study for those active quizzes that are about to occur. If you ask me thats the best tool you could use to prepare next to the study guide, also depends on how well you want to do such as if you’re a lazy bone that starts studying the day of or even a few minutes before. Everybody has been through those phases in there lives.

Module 5 gives you multiple different examples of other sources to use also. For example listening to different videos that can give you the information that you are searching for. Note taking , podcast,listening and comprehension skills are all tools to use to get prepared for test and quizzes. So the better information you take down and put away so you can look over again and again gives you a better chance to do good on those assignments. These are just a few tips I learned from Module 5.

Being a student that has been put in an online class that required multiple different communication skills through out the process of getting the job done. The understanding of communication when it comes to collaborating with a partner that you never really meet is maybe the most important skill you could have, also knowing a schedule and being on the same page with that other student. A lot of the basic information was shared on via email or even text multiple times, both of us came together as one unit to get the job done and gained information from many sources.

If you were ever to participate in a collaboration and your partner was never physically there you should really focus on the communications and taking full advantage of you sources within technology, this experience was very helpful with the understanding of proper feedback to get a better connection with your partner.  In reading  Chapter 6, by Ryan Watkins and Michael Corry highlights the need to avoid miscommunitcation . Think about it these email are sent and responded to as soon as possible  so the way of contacting you partner is limited but could also be plus in this situation. But can also have a negative effect because a lot of people need to be face to face, the reason for that is seeing your partners full detailed responses and comments back on the information that is given.
