Haoting’s Module 7

Hello guys, after learning this week’s topic, I learned numerous knowledge in the field of motivation and avoiding distractions. From my perspective, when we talk about the topic of motivation, I am always thinking about the two sides of motivation. The first one is intrinsic motivation, which mainly comes from a student’s inner part thoughts, such as interest, talent, and self-inspiration. At the same time, the other part is extrinsic motivation, which mainly consists of benefits, profits, and achievement. As for me, every time, when I am trying to pay more attention to one specific course instead of the other subjects in my course list, this behavior can be defined as the intrinsic motivation. For example, I remembered that I showed the trait of intrinsic motivation in the Marketing subject last semester. At that time, I read the books and essays of the marketing’s for hours per day during the time that I was taking the Marketing course at the Fisher College of Business. Therefore, I think the interest is the best teacher for everyone, we should evoke our interest so that we can find our talent and passion step by step.

When we refer to the term ‘distraction,’ the first following term is always the Internet. During the COVID-19 pandemic period, we have to use the online course platform to finish the rest courses of this semester. However, people are always been distracted during the time when there are taking the online course. To solve this problem, I think we can use the lockdown browser to solve the problem. Even though the lockdown browser is for testing, we can still use their function to impose us to avoid the distraction from the entertained website and video game.

Haoting’s Module 6

After this week’s learning, the module 6 mainly discusses assignment resource. During my study life at Ohio State University, I learned numerous ways to search for academic resources from different courses. For example, when we are preparing to write an academic paper, we need to format our paper’s style, such as APA, Chicago, and MFA. We can use Purdue’s citation website to formally double-check our paper style to a large extent. When we are writing this paper, we need to find powerful citations to support our ideas, which can largely enhance the authenticity of our paper. We can find suitable citation resources from OSU’s online library. And we can merely use our buckid to login into the website as well as automatically get the citation from the e-book. After the paper, we can use our OSU writing center to check our basic grammars and word structures, which is an extremely useful campus resource for international students. After learning this module, I learned how to reasonably find resources to a large extent.

Haoting’s Module 5: web-enhanced listening and viewing strategies

As far as I am concerned, we can make notes by the abbreviations method, which can extremely decrease our time to take notes in a short time. At the same time, the abbreviations method can extremely enhance our work efficiency of notes during our note-taking process.

To a large extent, when we read an academic article, we always use some software to help us make a note as well as we are reading. Adobe Acrobat is one of the most efficient PDF readers when we are reading an online passage. For example, we can simply use the copy function to search the keywords in the article. At the same time, we can also use Adobe Acrobat to make some notes and abbreviations during reading. By using this kind of convenient PDF reader during our reading process, the abbreviation method can help us decrease our time, we can merely create a note and write down the abbreviation in the note blank. And using a color pen function in the function bar to mark the abbreviation to make a significant signal.

Therefore, we can make a perfect note in a short time, which means we may not miss any important information during our lecture time.

Haoting’s Module 4 Blog: Internet Study Strategy

Hello guys, nice to meet you in this week’s discussion. From my perspective, Internet study strategies are one of the most significant factors that why we use the Internet to process remote study.

For example, we can definitely process different subjects and different assignments at the same time. Nowadays, some online courses provide video studies during their online course platforms. When we need to finish the Quizzes and Discussion board, we have to watch the video at the same time to seize the point so that we can finish the questions on quizzes. Therefore, the multitasking of the Internet truly gives us an opportunity to enhance the study and work efficiency.

Moreover, when we refer to the Internet remote study strategy, one of the most important strategies is digital note-taking. After the development of the Internet and device, we can merely use our finger to make a note during the lecture. To a large extent, digital note-taking is an efficient way to take note. For instance, we can use our iPad to make a digital note with different convenient functions. We can erase and revise the notes if we made mistakes; we can copy and paste our contents to another device; we can use different marks by the function bar but not a bag of colorful pens. These advantages are power points to support the truth, which is Internet note-taking truly makes our world easy.

At last, I just wanna say I am really happy to learn the way of the Internet study strategies because the Internet study strategies are really helpful in our daily.

Haoting’s Module 3 Blog: Internet Time Management

Hello guys, nice to see you again this week. During this week, I’ve learned numerous knowledge and methods of Internet study tactics and time management. The topic of this module is mainly talking about time management. Therefore, I did a lot of researches to practice my time management ability.

As far as I am concerned, time management ability is one of the most important abilities to defined success. If people who have a well time management ability during their daily life, they will have the ability to determine the success or failure in their career and life. Time management enables us to control our life pace, make good use of our time, and move in our direction without losing our goal during the time. Although we cannot seize valuable opportunities every time, we can still have a chance to lay out our plan in efficient ways.

I know many people are worried about their time management ability in some way. Procrastination, many students had already lost in the trap of procrastination. After I learned this week’s module, I make a new daily idiom, ‘Don’t let procrastination be your norms,’ for myself, because of procrastination are always ruin our life. For example, I had a period of hard times, because there was 4 different subjects’ mid-term exam on my calendar. However, I did not have enough experience due to I was a Freshmen, who still thought college study life merely likes high school. Thus, the result proved that I eventually failed my arrogance due to the bad grades in my transcript. Therefore, I will recommend you, my reader, to make time management as possible as you can.

At last, I will recommend a tool for you, The Google Calendar. I believe many of you had already used it right? Well, Google Calendar is a perfect tool to layout our time by setting different items at different times. We can set a blank, and type the event name to make a tag to notified us on time. I believe this will definitely help us during this period of a tough time because we have a lot of online courses during the COVID-19 period. The Google calendar will bring help to us.

Haoting’s Module 2 Blog : Communicating and collaborating

Dear my audience

Hello guys, I’m Haoting Zhang. In this week’s module, I learned a lot from module 2. From my perspective, this module mainly focuses on online communication skills and collaboration skills. These skills are one of the most useful skills to get success in future time. When I watched the video from Module 2, I realized that if we only meet online, we can definitely avoid some worse first impressions in the early meeting. For instance, some people may not be outgoing in real-world social networking. However, they can do well on social media, which behind the screen. Therefore, I believe that online social networking is a perfect way to eliminate the gap between people’s purpose and behaviors.

At the same time, I choose to use Linkedin, a professional networking job recruiting website, to practice my e-networking skills, because I need to do more practice to enhance my ability to afford the works. To increase the e-networking efficiency. I choose to make a quick note by utilizing Google Docs, which is an online document that can record everything I need, to record and improve my skills. I had already started this plan last week. Thus, I successfully got in touch with some 500 Fortune companies’ HR by communicating them through e-networking methods. Besides the Google Docs, I am still in the way of finding a more efficient way to improve my e-networking skills. Maybe I’ll choose to put some works from my previous internships on the website.

At last, I will give some practical advice for your guys. Please do the e-networking as early as you can, because the resources are always limited. We can only start online communication as early as we can so that we can make an advantage in the future career! See you next week.
