My experience at millersville

my new plans for the fall semester is to improve my note taking methods, trying to look for the main points in each reading, to ask myself questions based in the main points so I can keep myself engage in the reading. I also feel that I should try the Cornell method because it’s a method that really fits what I’m looking for in my notes such as reflecting in questions, reviewing the material, the previous questions and notes, so I can have a better understanding of what I had read so I can keep focused and with a open minded of what I’m looking for to keep developing my ideas and reflections in the readings.

 

 

I used some others strategies but they are very similar, I am used to take notes while I’m  reading, but it was a littler bit complicated for me to use another method. The method that I was going to try and use was the visual method which is a method non-linguistic,and is when we learn by observing, I honestly couldn’t try that one because I dint know how I was supposed work visually in the reading that I was doing . But the method that I used was the outlining, and  I think that it worked out because I feel that it helped me to be focus in the main things and important facts of the story. I also used keywords which help me a put my main idea in short terms like using abbreviations that make it more easier to memorize what you are trying to learn.

 

Paragraph 1)  One strategies that I used during my studying sections was, trying to find out a good place where I can concentrate and not being distracted by people or the environment around me, I also tried to really concentrated and get into to the reading  by taking my take in each page and trying to analyze the point of the reading, I also took notes of the most important facts of the readings so the I can look at it and remember it in a easier way.

Paragraph 2)  the strategic that didn’t work it was that sometimes I was trying to concentrate but I really couldn’t concentrate cause of the meanings of some worlds that I couldn’t understand at the moment, the strategies that really work out was, the place where I Choose to study and also the notes were so helpful to me because it was helping me to memorize a little more better.

Paragraph 3) I would like to keep taking notes, to keep choosing a better place to concentrated better and keep doing well in classes to improve everyday in my academics.

paragraph 4)  I can make new strategies by trying our new ones and see if it work for me and keep putting in in practice in my study sections everyday, I can make my studies habits better by being specific and realistic of what works for me and what not.

I’m Perla and this is my first blog, in this blog I’m going to talk about a event in my life, which was difficult but also a great moment,  because that event  demonstrate to myself my potential as a student even when I didn’t see it in me,When i was in high school, I was doing a program which is call CTC, this program is base on different opportunities of doing a technical carrier, I was in the Horticulture program which is base on landscaping, floral designer, greenhouse and customer services, I was doing that program for three years.

In 12 grade we where getting ready to take a test which is call NOCTI, that test is for you to receive a certificate of the program in which you are in, it’s  a test that every senior have to do in order to get their certificate,  I was very nerves about this test, in the test we had to memorize 70 plants, study 200 questions, we had to do customer service in front of judges, identify 5 types of soils, identify plants diseases, and memorize 5 insects and their cure.

This was a challenging moment in my journey as student, because I never had taken a test like that one before, and also I was worry cause of my limitations of the language, cause my English was not perfect and it was a struggle to understand what I was studying.
