Case Study

In class we have learned skills on how to be an active note taker and studier. I have learned in the past ways to do both; however, the ideas presented were very good ways for some people. Throughout this essay, I will discuss how to study effectively as well as how to take notes effectively. I will also what changes I have made to my routine for both.

Smarthinking and Paperrater.com are tremendous assets to college students. These websites offer guidance on improving writing techniques. Within Smarthinking, the student has the option to choose what areas of evaluation are needed such as: a thesis statement, introduction/conclusion, grammar, and several other options (Smarthinking.com, 2107). Even though Paperrter.com does not allow students to choose specific areas of evaluation, it is just as beneficial as Smarthinking by providing feedback on spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, sentence styles, and vocabulary suggestions (Paperrater.com, 2017).

Jordan was shown the Kurzweil 3000 and Read and Write Gold, two literacy software programs, which will provide support necessary for her to be successful. She appreciated that the material was read back to her while highlighting each word. This will help Jordan to maintain focus. Another feature of these programs would be to allow Jordan to use highlighters, sticky notes and extraction tools to assist her with studying. Jordan found the writing path feature within the Kurzweil program to be exceptionally helpful. Having the writing templates will help Jordan break down her writing assignments into smaller chunks, allowing her to stay focused and on task. The brainstorming templates could also help Jordan with organizing her thoughts during the writing process. The ATS is recommending Jordan is provided with the Kurzweil program for reading and writing. Jordan will need an All in One Printer so she will be able to scan material into her computer when a digital format is not available. The ATS is recommending Jordan access the research project calculator application rpc.elms4you.org to help organize her time with large

However note taking during lectures, after lectures, from text books, articles and journals is somewhat hard. One way to improve on my note taking skills would be by highlighting key words. Highlighting key words will assist focusing my attention on the text; it will also be time efficient as there will be no need to read through the whole text (Chambers, 2001). Critically reflecting has helped me to improve and refine my note taking skills as I have found a suitable technique to develop on this particular skill. Using critical self-reflection on my study skills such as note taking has permitted me to once again find effective tactics to overcome my difficulty in making notes.

For the essay concerning good time-management skills I was asked to use Smarthinking and Paperrater to complete the tasks involved in unit 4. During the duration of this course, I have been given many helpful resources to help me become a better writer. These two websites have returned in-depth analysis of my writing. They have guided me to make the changes necessary to not only receive a better grade, but to also be more knowledgeable and aware of how to write competently and confidently.

Moreover, he grasped opportunities to practice his English as verified by “I write in English… After the meeting, I’ll rewrite my notes”. Although he said “without paying attention to grammar and usage” while writing his notes during a meeting, it is probably because the fast-paced

Joseph Williams and Lawrence McEnerney, in the second chapter of Writing in College, discuss the writing process, addressing how to collect of evidence, draft, and revise. Evidence in the form of data, which comprises “all the information related to your assignment” (8), provides the specific support for an argument. In college, “Every assignment will ask you to look at your readings in a different way” (8), write Williams and McEnerney. Thus, key in the information collection process is properly “selecting and analyzing data” (8) in a manner relevant to the assignment. Williams and McEnerney suggest some basic methods to collect data, including reading and re-reading the material, while highlighting any relevant information and then narrowing

In this article, two researchers, Pam Mueller and Daniel Oppenheimer, explore the various factors of handwritten notes versus laptop taken notes. Cindi May says, “Laptops do in fact allow students to do more, like engage in online activities and demonstrations, collaborate more easily on papers and projects, access information from the internet, and take more notes.” All of which are true, but Mueller and Oppenheimer proves that the innovative technology is not always a good thing. Over the course of three experiments, students take notes via laptop and via hand in classroom settings and are later tested on their memory on the material they took notes on. In each study, students who used laptops took more notes but did not comprehend as much

I knew this was a risky experiment where I could possibly get beat up by random females or someone calling the cops on me and file a harassment complaint. Therefore, I thought about a location where I can get kicked out the environment. The winter park library was the perfect location for my experiment. I went there on Saturday morning where it is more active and crowded. After the plan and location was put in place, I decided to burn bridges with a lot of unknown females. I randomly pull the first woman aside, and set down a scale and say "How much do you think you weigh? Step on the scale please." Everyone around her just looked at me with surprise and where waiting on her reaction. She just simply smiles and say no thank you! I

A detailed description of the Swedish Apolipoprotein MOrtality RISk (AMORIS) cohort can be found elsewhere (14,15).

His current assessment on programming is going well. Next is a Computer Science report which will be externally marked, this will require him to do homework to complete it by the due date in term four after the holidays.
