Web-Enhanced Listening & Viewing Strategies Blog Post

Module 5 was definitely one of my favorite modules to date. Before coming to college and even during college I had a problem note taking. It wasn’t that I wasn’t capable of note taking just that I know that I could definitely improve. The activities in this module identified a bunch of strategies for note taking and listed why good note taking was key for success. I personally favorited and saved all the websites with the note taking advice so I could improve my skills even more in the future. I believe that key note taking should be an freshman introductory class. It would probably help out a bunch of students in their college career. The assignments in this module for very beneficial and I did not feel like it was a waste of time doing the assignments. I really enjoyed the assignment where we listened to the speaker talk about good note taking (o the irony) and took notes during the podcast. We then followed up on what we learned and turned in our notes with two paragraphs discussing our new note taking habits. I believe this module is very helpful and would love to see it emphazied more to students throughout their college career.

Web-Enhanced Reading & Studying Strategies Blog Post

I found the activities  in the  Module 4 learning guide to be very beneficial to Ohio State attendees and college students all around. This module does an excellent job of touching on something that really applies to all students. The assignment to “search for websites that provide effective studying” was a good one that help students share their personal websites with each other through the discussion board. I got to recommend some websites that I personal use, while reading about ones that other students had found successful. Some of the websites that I had used prior to this assignment were StudyBlue, Easybib, and Math.com. I hope the students in my group view these websites as they have been very effective for me and helped me attain better grades in my classes. Regardless if people take advantage of the websites I suggested I will definitely read through the multiple discussion post and use any website that I find might help me in the future with my studies. Although this module is extremely helpful for people with bad study habits, I think we need to keep in mind that it takes more than helpful studying websites to achieve good grades and need to promote better overall study habits so people don’t rely to heavily on these websites.
