Finally, my visual learning style helps me learn how to write organized informative notes on important educational and business issues in this

Completing these quizzes has helped me better understand my ability to succeed as an online psychology student. The results from the SORT quiz made complete sense. I scored high in the life factor, personal attributes, and tech competency. This means that I do not have many distractions or other responsibilities to interfere with my schooling. I have a great support system, including my family, coworkers, and my boyfriend. I also know quite a bit about using a computer. I scored lower in technology knowledge meaning that I am not very useful when it comes to fixing computers. Lastly, for this quiz, I scored lower in the reading recall section. I believe this just means that I need to pay more attention to details within the writing I am reading.

1. I am taking AAS 585 because it fulfills the requirement for UD-C (AERM+SF). Also, I am interestesd in learning about Asian American Religiosities .

I was becoming stressed as the time was getting closer and closer to midnight. I knew that I had to get this assignment done before I procrastinate any longer. I may have a small problem with procrastination, however, I had tried not to for this assignment. This is my first online college class and I wasn't sure what to expect as I am only a Sophmore in high school. Even though it is a practice assignment about plagiarism, I still wanted to do my best. My hands were shaking I as was trying to finish writing the paper. I kept hitting the wrong letters, which was not helping me.

Several problems highlighted in the video were just as relevant today as they were almost 10 years ago. For example, undergraduate classes are often vast and impersonal. Within the graduate setting, classes are smaller and more personal, as individuals have refined their focus. Yes, college is expensive. Yes, textbooks are expensive. Most instructors are limited to the resources required by departments or availability of materials.

The competencies that I will focus on throughout this paper are developmentally appropriate practice, special needs strategies, and modeling fairness and respect. Several of the examples that I observed fell under the same practice. The content of the video presented a classroom teacher who actively participated with his classroom of students. I am beyond amazed at how interactive the teacher remained throughout the entire video. While watching the video, I learned there several aspects of learning that can be built into one center.

The ELL students in Mercer County are not alone, according to the National Education Association, approximately 15% of ELL students throughout the United States do not receive any special instruction to help them achieve in mainstream classrooms and only about 33 percent of students who receive specialized aide receive it for fewer than 10 hours per week (McKeon, D. 2005, June). Considering these staggering percentages, it is apparent that the majority of ELL students in Ohio and US classrooms rely heavily on the abilities of their mainstream teacher. Oftentimes, mainstream content teachers are not fully equipped and prepared to provide the necessary support for each of their unique ELL students. According to the Teacher Education Quarterly

The student that I’ll be talking about is named Nia; she is a strong-willed learner who scored a S33,P32,TR22,C22. Nia is a online student that doesn’t have any family support. She is in no position to not ask for help! My first suggestion is to swallow her pride and take advantage of the support the school provides. Due to her being against accepting help, I would definitely stress that she should not skim through directions, in which she finds unclear. Nia needs to practice critical reading to become more of a successful college student! Another suggestion is she needs to take the teacher’s advice to proofread before posting. I always read what I wrote out loud because that’s the best way to catch things that don't sound right! Nia does not

I have known for quite some time that I am a visual learner. It is much easier for me to grasp a concept if I am shown how to do something by demonstration rather than reading instructions. I become very frustrated rather quickly if I have to rely solely on written instructions. When I become frustrated, I tend to be easily distracted and focusing becomes an issue.

I chose to attend his lecture because it was about public school education and what is wrong with it. Going in to the lecture I thought it was going to be a speaker discussing every aspect of what is wrong with our education system. The lecture turned out to be better than I expected because he did not just talk about what was wrong. He provided statistics to show that public schools scores are not as good as private schools because private schools keep out the students they do not want from their schools. These are people who do not have money and no disabilities. Their test scores are better because they have an unfair advantage. I would definitely go to another lecture because they give you new ways of looking at topics you know about, yet

One aspect that is going to make me a successful online student is that I am self motivated. The online course I signed up for is the final class I need in order to graduate with my Associates Degree. I paid cash for this course, so I am going to make sure I get my money’s worth. I have no option, but to pass this course. I am committed to spend quite an amount of hours per week to pass this course. I have already advised my family that if I ignore them for the next eight weeks to not get offended. Everyone already knows that I am ignoring them because I have committed to study. I am comfortable working independently or as a group, so trying to learn by myself is not scary. I know if I have a question I can use the discussion board or ask my

The main characteristics of a visual learner are that they remember what they see, instead of what they hear. They also prefer diagrams, pictures and to read and write rather than listening. This learner is usually good at spelling, but forgets names, and needs to study in quite. Also, they would tune out when they try to pay attention and they would need an overall new and purpose beginning a project.
