Many advices I like to give to freshman on how to survive the first week of college is to tour the campus, look over all the syllabus your professor provide for you and view over your textbooks, organize your room and school supplies, and make sure you have a routine so your schedule is balanced. The first tip on surviving the first week of college is to tour the campus. It is good to tour the campus because you know where you are going and will not get lost. An example is after meeting with an advisor and they hand your class schedule to you, by the first day of class you will know where you are going. Another example is you should know where a good place to study and relax in peace other than your room, like the library or the student lounge.
During each seminar, the instructor will be asking students lots of questions from the reading assignments, so there will be many opportunities to answer and to make additional comments or ask questions of your own. Your attendance at the weekly seminar for this course is very important. The seminar is an excellent source of information and explanation of the weekly material in this course. However, if you are unable to attend the seminar, you can still learn the information that was provided and also earn the seminar points. In order to earn the seminar points, you must complete an alternative assignment and submit it as a Word document attached to an email.
I had heard about some ‘distance learning’ courses that a few of my colleagues had completed in the past, and enquired to my manager about any available. She informed me that there was an upcoming ‘infection control’ distance learning course, which would gain me an NCFE certificate. I requested to be signed up for this course, as I felt I wanted to learn more about a subject that is very important in my role. It was my job to ensure I phoned Stratford College to arrange my sign up, and take down any notes that were necessary. I used time management to ensure that I met each of my four week deadlines, having done the work to the standard required.
Reflection Summaries BIS/220 April 10, 2012 The first class usually follows a regimented format. The first night of Business Information Systems / 220 was not significantly different than most others. The discussion began by each person, in turn, explaining how they were introduced to information technology (IT) and what they use it for these days. Surprisingly, many classmates indicated they have used IT since grade school. Further discussion centered on class policies including the instructor's stance on plagiarism.
He brought up a good point that a lot of people wouldn't have thought of in terms of a student’s education. Now I do kind of disagree with Bruno with the fact that as the students who lag behind in high school will later lag behind in college. It's not like the students were told not to push themselves or to take the easy route, they decided to go down that road. Do homework for a hour and really make their paper great or rush it before class. A simple choice like that can make a total difference in whether they really learned something or if they cheated themselves.
Kaitlyn Stevens Mr. Scott Reed ENGL 0003.001 19 July 2011 Overcoming my distractions Throughout my years of education, I have had to overcome many obstacles. I have found a few distractions along the way that led to me getting off track. What has distracted me in my college nursing experience is having too much homework at one time and not being able to manage my time well enough. On top of all my homework, I also had to learn to manage my athletics in with getting my work done on time. After all my homework and cheer activities are completed, my personal entertainment was also a big challenge for me to overcome.
Memory is the cognitive process of encoding, storing and retrieving information (Melton 1963) and is also involved in processing vast amounts of information (McLeod, S. A. 2007). Memories could be reliable, as some people are able to hold very vivid details of events in their activated schema. However, the retrieval of memory could be subjected to the change over time through reconstruction and therefore questions the reliability and accuracy of the information recalled. The reliability of memory could be demonstrated by outlining how the encoding and retrieval of memory could be susceptible to reconstruction.
It is not fair to conclude that because a student exhibits difficulties with one area of learning that he or she will exhibit the same difficulty in other areas, in fact a student who displays difficult writing or reading may in fact excel in other academic areas such as mathematics. Other scholars such as Bernhardt argue that multiple measures is important as student achievement results can be explained by other factors (Bernhardt, 2002). Bernhardt believes that there are four components which should be discussed when referring to multiple measures; student learning, demographics, perceptions and school processes (Bernhardt, 2002). Bernhardt believed that not only will multiple measures enhance student learning, but also it will provide teachers and schools with the information necessary to improve overall learning. McMillan
The Effect of Culture on Memorization Memorization is the process of committing something to memory. Students as well as people in everyday life use memorization. Phonics in reading, the periodic table in chemistry, multiplication tables in mathematics, anatomy in medicine, cases or statutes in law, basic formulae in any science are some of the things that are memorized by many students. Memorization is a technique that has pros and cons. Cultures can have an effect on the way students perform when using memorization as a way of learning.
