Cole Cutner: Self Analysis

Study skills are used in everyday life. They are the skills you will need to study and learn with. Using skills to study is best for your own personal needs and will help you out a lot throughout life. Study skills are

In the section “Tips from the Science of Memory-for Studying and for Life”, found in our textbook, “Experience Psychology”, the Arthur Laura A. King discusses the importance of study habits. She addresses the skills needed to turn short-term memory into long-term memory through organizing, encoding, rehearsing and retrieving the information

What is the best way to study effectively? Is it reading the text repetitively until a comprehension is reached or is it to read and then self-quiz in order to ensure an understanding of the studied information? Sometimes students put a lot of time and effort into preparing for an exam only to be unhappily surprised when they do not perform as expected on the test. The reason a student scored badly on an exam that they did in fact study for would be influenced by their studying techniques.

Neil Thompson suggest there are six steps to reflective practice, they are; 1. Read - around the topics you are learning about or want to learn about and develop

3. How do you think you best learn (hearing material, reading, exercises, discussions, etc.)? I am a visual learner, so I would like to be able to see and read the materials. I learn best by seeing demonstrations and I enjoy hands on activities.

According to true colors I am a green. The twenty words that best describes me are analytical, calm, cool, investigative, strength, creative, strategic thinker, knowledgeable, visionary, enthusiastic, independent thinker, future focus, objective, tough minded, meaningless dialogue, emotional displays, subjective thinking, social function, challenging and flexible.

To make learning easier for you, you should ask questions. Asking questions will help you have a better understanding of what you are learning. You won't be confused and end up with a bad grade because you didn't know what was happening. In the long run asking questions will make you smarter. Another thing that will help with learning is if you try your best. It is always better to try your best then to fail completely. If you forgot to study or you just completely forgot all the answers on a test, it is better to try your best and get a grade then to not try at all and fail. If you don't try your grade will drop even more than if you at least tried to remember and did what you could. The last thing that will help with learning is to do your homework. If you take your time on homework then you will understand the subject better. Doing homework on a certain subject will help you with an upcoming test, because most of the time if you get homework it is to help you study for a test or a quiz that you might have. Doing all these things will help you with your education throughout the school year.

learn the most I could. This has become true to me. I am in a better place when it comes at listening and

I think everyone is many colors, and I also believe that colors represent different things to different people. Personally, I believe that I am red. Not just one red, but all the different shades of red. Red represents passion, love, determination, and anger. Red represents strength and strong emotions. Red can represent brokenness, but it can also mean happiness and confidence.

In this world, every individual has their own unique personality. There are many ways to determine your personality with an online test. For example, our class had a color spectrum test to determine our color. When taking the color test, you will add up the total of points for each color that is shown and that will assign you a personality color. Many jobs required for their potential employees to take a personality color test to get a better understanding of their personality. With their personality, they can set their employees into a suitable workplace. Depending on your color it shows how you communicate with others.

Spatial, visual, and tactile, just a few of the results that were given to me after taking many tests. A total of four tests were taken the first was one found in-text in a book used in class. In the first test it was about learning styles, after answering all the questions, I primarily fell into the category of being a visual/graphic learner, but fairly close was tactile/kinesthetic and auditory/verbal. These results from the first test was really

Personal learning styles are highly complex and unique to specific individuals. It is often difficult to pinpoint an exact learning style. Though there are different categories, we often fine tune them to our own abilities. By examining our traits and tendencies we create a clearer understanding of how we process and learn information. With careful review, I have developed a specific analysis of my learning characteristics, including an evaluation of skill levels. Based on what I have recently learned and know from experience, I have also devised a structured plan for improvement of time management and study skills.

There are several keys factor about my personality that shapes the person I am today. When I was a little girl I use to wonder what type of personality I have the type of personality quality I have are ambition, strength, free

How will you achieve the goal? I will achieve this goal by putting the time in. For me, putting the time into studying, doing homework, and going to lecture will help me achieve this goal. Knowing the material is a key component in succeeding. When test time comes if you do not know the material it will be very hard to do good on the test.

A range of different and useful topics have been discussed since the start of Pathways to lifelong learning, some of which I found to be of particular help. The college expectations which we learned towards the beginning of the course was especially helpful to learning how to become a critical thinker, something that was not very touched upon throughout my time in high school. I now use Bloom’s Taxonomy when beginning to prepare for an important paper or presentation. In addition to the first chapter, I had also found great help in the second chapter on the skills needed to succeed in school. In the past, I used rehearsal as my main strategy to memorize for any upcoming tests or exams, however that often resulted in either retrieval failure or ineffective encoding. I now use chunking and elaboration as my main strategies to studying as I find it most effective when studying and retrieving information, especially when I am needing to memorize and learn a big amount of material.
