When I came across anything I thought was relevant in the textbooks I stuck post-it notes around my desk stating briefly what it was and where I found it. Deciding which points to use in my essay was difficult and did result in a considerable amount of deleting and re entering information. Using the textbook I found ir easier to read the conclusion at the end of the chapter first, followed by the summaries at the end of each unit and leaving the beginning til last. This gives me a better understanding of what concepts im covering. I am still finding the referencing process quite difficult but I am hoping this will get easier as the course
The syllabus included: chapters from the textbook, in class essays, grammar exercises, a final exam, and a research paper. The first major assignment to complete was the grammar exercises from the textbook. The syllabus listed pages 584-706, with a large amount of the work in long hand. While I feel the grammar was beneficial for writing papers, I believe it would have helped to review during each class. The textbook ambiguously explained how to complete each grammar exercise, and I was never sure if I was completing the assignment correctly.
This assignment was beneficial in allowing me to see how I had no idea how to research a library database. According to Capella University Writing & Library Resources (2009),” learning how to find credible information and apply it to a problem is a critical skill in nearly all areas of life…”. For that reason, I invested many hours going through all the tutorials to learn how to focus topics, search databases, use effective keywords, apply Boolean commands and other strategies needed to build my research skills. My final assessment score was 16/16; however, the perfect score was no reflection of my ability to apply the concepts and strategies learned to research three articles on a topic related to my specialization, Child and Adolescent
I really did not know what to expect that this paper was going to be about so I just decided to go with the flow. Even though I didn’t really understand the whole I-Search paper format, I was actually kind of excited to finally do something new in English. Two days later my class learned how to grasp information and put that information on a flashcard. This helped me become more organized with the research information. I really think that these flashcards helped me with my information throughout the whole
Moreover, students do not try to proof read their assignment before they hand it out. Besides he complained about students pay less attention on proof reading, he criticizes that students always try to copy and paste the original work from the Internet. He understands that technology can help everyone, and it makes human’s life efficiently. However, he thinks human should not apply their material which find on the Internet because some of those resource are very fundamental. At last, he believes that libraries and instructors should be responsible for teaching students how to do their research by using books to leads them have enthusiasm on their studies.
When he caught him plagiarizing, it was to Jamal’s demise. However, William Forrester came to Jamal’s class – the class had been studying William’s book prior to his unexpected visit – and said that Jamal had permission to use the paragraph. Forrester taught Jamal a few different writing strategies that I’ve never heard about before. The most interesting, to me, was to just type on a keyboard and don’t stop typing. Once the writer feels they have come to a close, edit and fix the grammatical errors.
When it comes to reading whether it is for pleasurable or learning students should understand what they are reading. During my Gen 105 class we discuss how the Sq3r can help students comprehend what they have read. The SQ3R is a technique used to develop reader from passive to active readers. Sq3R stands for survey, questions, reading, reciting and reviewing. Surveying is the first stage this is when a student picks up a book to determine if they would like to read it.
Writing down problems and/or questions and practice writing solutions and/or responses. Trying to use my hands when studying and explaining concepts to myself. I found this very helpful to know exactly my style because I didn’t exactly knew my style, I thought I had dfferent style but after this test and research I realised this was my style all
She says they range from fifteen years to fifty and of different occupation and nationality. Classroom base teaching limits student’s choices. Students don’t have to choose materials in the syllabus instead they have to follow it as a strict and fixed requirement because they are not allowed to make selections. At the end of the final project, classroom students mostly hand their research paper to their instructor while an online student gets to email theirs or put it in an online drop box. However, Laird says other than the fact that there is no face to face communication between the teacher and the students, there is also too much use of web.
Learning Style Everyone has different learning styles. Some peoples learning style might be fairly similar, but no two will be the exact same. I wasn’t sure exactly what type of writing style I had, so I did some research to help me answer this question. There are websites online that will give you a series of questions, and from there it can Identify, your personal best ways to take in knowledge. The website I was best at flashcards for memorizations, and writing down outlines and studying those.
