Module 4: web-enhanced reading& study strategies blog post

In this module, I have learned about many online study tools that I can use to enhance my study experience.

In this post, I’d like to give some more advice about this online study tools. I’d also like to give some advice regarding writing at college level.

In my opinion, the most important factor that contributes to college success is time management. In college, no one is going to hold your hand and guide you through each step. Therefore, it’s very important that you keep track of your study and know what you need to do. I recommend students to use google calendar to mark important events before they go to school every week. Make sure to enable the notifications feature and sync the calendar with you smartphone.

Another advice I’d like to give is about memorizing key concepts that you learned from your classes. Memorizing concepts can be frustrating. I took a psychology classes during my second year. I was overwhelmed by the sheer number of concepts introduced in the classes. To make the matter worse, I had a tight working schedule in that semester. I found myself had hardly any spare time to sit down and read through the class notes. How I hope I had knew quizlet a little bit earlier. Regardless, quizlet is a website that allows you to create flashcards that you can view on a wide range of electronic devices. It’s one of the best learning tool I can find online. I recommend you to start using it for any class that requires you to memorize a lot of concepts.

The last piece of advice I’d like to give is about writing at college level. Writings assignments at college level might be vastly different from the writing assignments you did in high school. One of the biggest difference is the requirements for citation. There are multiple citation styles that you need to pay attention to when writing a paper. Make sure that you follow the right style to avoid grades deduction. On page 195, the textbook explained in more detail: review each page of your assignment to confirm that you have followed the appropriate format requirements, inserted appropriate in-text citations, and included a complete reference for each citation included in the paper(e-learning companion: A student’s guide to online success (4th ed.) by Watkins & Corry). Purdue Online Writing Lab is a good resource that you can use to learn different citation styles. The website includes many citation examples that you can follow to make your own citation.
