There are so many things that I have learned from taking this course. Going into this course I had the reaction as to why am I doing this and what is the point of me doing this because i really had no idea as to why i was taking this course. after completing it i can honestly say that i am shocked from all of the infomation that i have obained and how it has helped me with my other courses as well. tthe big thing that I have utulized from this course was all of the different websites that I have went through in this course that have helped me with literally all of my study habits in not just this specific course but every course that I am taking. My problem was always staying focused in class and staying focused during studying. Some of the websited that I have seen are unbelievable. the techniques have helped me stay awayke in class and be more focused along with studying back at my dorm and these techniques also gelped me obtai a lot mor information thatn I had in the past and helped me do a lot beter in my classes.

I always thought that I was going to be stuck with the same old study habits that were not really helping me and my biggest concern was trying to get my study habits better. I did not think that I was going to be able to make the change to a different type of study habit so easily but after i tried it it turned out that the new study habits were not that hard to change to especially because they were helping me a lot more and making everything a lot easier. So the big thing tahtI learned about myself is that I can change to different thing when it comes to studying without a problem and the change has helped me achieve new goals and become a better student.

The most meaningful part of this course was learning about all of the different majors that I had to research for the assignments that we had to do. I learned a lot more about the major that i would like to pursue and that was a big plus for me because I could really not believe how much stuff that i did not know about the major that i was depending on to help me get through the rest of my life. I am very excited with all of the useful information that I have obtained and look foward to using it to excel at my decided major.

With all of the things that I have learned it made me more aware of what i was going to be doing wih the rest of my life. This course has shown me the classes that i am going to need to take in order to complete my major and it has got me ready and excited to start taking the classes that go toward my major. I can honestly say that because of this class I am ready to start my college caeer and i am definately looking foward to it.

The power point that we reviewed was a very big help to me but there was specific part that I payed extra attention to and that was the source siting aspect of it because in high school that was never my strong suit. I once had points taken off because I sited my source in the wrong format. I find myself lucky that that was all that happened and I did not get into trouble for attempted plagarism. That would have really been a horrible impact to my grade. Another great part to the powerpoint is that it gave some of the college consequences that could go along with it. I was very un aware that possible expulsion or a suspension could go along with it. I can honestly say that I would have been grateful for having that power point in high school not only to help me with my assignments then but to also give me an idea what the consequences were for for college but to also get me ready for some of the new aspects of source citation there would be. After viewing the powerpoint I feel a lot more comfortable with doing my assignments and being confident that I will not run into another citation problem again in college.

This websites definitely seems like one that I would use to write a future paper. There are many good reviews that go along with this website which is reassuring that it actually does help. What tops it all off is that it is a college specific website so they use it directly at the college as well which also makes me feel like it is very accurate because they are trusting it for all their college papers.

It gives all of the necessary sources you would need for siting papers. It also helps with setting up the format of a paper. This website goes through step by step of they way you need to set up the paper and it also give the allotted time it should take to do each part of the paper so that you can manage your time.

While I have been writing papers I have had a fairly easy time with setting up all of my papers. A big part that I always need help with is siting my sources. This part of the website gives you a step by step process  on how to go through and a step by step format as to how to site things into all different formats.

This video actually opened my eyes to something in exercise science I was not aware of. A big point of the lecture was about breathing. Going into the video I thought it was going to be more about muscles and how they work. After finding out exercise science went more into the little things it got me more interested because the major goes into great detail about literally everything about the body. I can easily say that I am more excited to start this major after watching this video.

The video showed me a lot more than I was expecting about the major. It seems like it is going to be a challenge and that gets me excited. This is a course that I am very interested in and want to uses to pursue in he future. To me it doesn’t matter how hard it is going to be as long as it is something that I really want to do.  In life if anything means something to you it should not matter how hard it is going to be as long as you truly care about what you are going to be doing.

Module four was a big help to me in being able to learn new study strategies. My biggest problem was that I always didn’t give myself enough time to study and that I would usually just red to study so that just put me to sleep so I really did not get my work done that I had to. There were a number of links on different ways to study that gave me insight on more interactive ways I could get my studying down while staying awake at the same time which was the biggest problem for me. Then in class I found it was easier to take more detailed notes because when I had the notes from class I could rewrite them back at my dorm. I found that the more that I rewrote the notes I began to learn them more and I retained the material I used to not be able to understand. Ultimately my study tools and resources became a lot easier like the new ways I used to make different types of flash cards and be more into my notes and studying. with all of these new study traits that  have learned it will be  lot more smple to et my work done and be more prepared with my classes.

The audience I have chosen to write to is the students so I can give the a heads up as to what college is going to be like. When I was coming into college i had a pretty good idea of what my life was going to be like. The hardest part for college was the time management. I was a student athelete so i have to balance school work and try to stay awake because I am tired from all of the football. Another thing you need to learn is when you have a chance to take a nap you need to be thankful for that oppourtunity and take it because it will help you in the log run  I swear. I am lucky if i get four to five hours of sleep everynight and then there are certain days where you wont have time to take any naps and those are the longest days. The thing that you must learn before you get here is how to set up the calender in your phone because you will be so busy all of the time and the things you do will get mixed up when it comes to the times and dates and when that happens,  especially as a student athelete the results are never good.
