This week I am starting my final project. I have come to the conclusion that I will learn the Rubik’s cube in the next few weeks. Hopefully, I will be able to learn to complete it at the least and memorize the solution if possible. I went out and purchased a Rubik’s cube for about 15 dollars a few days ago. Of course I’ve already scrambled it and threw my sad attempt at accomplishing something without these foreign directions that come out of the box. I guess I can relate this to the process of converting to a new religion or being introduced to a new religion. It’s very confusing and overwhelming, being careful not to misinterpret anything at face value. I feel intimidated, but determined to learn this little three by three cube. Laziness …show more content…
I’ve already watched a few YouTube videos of beginner guides other enthusiasts have created. Sadly, being able to complete the Rubik’s cube in the future will not make me a Shaman. Hinduism is the main focus of this week. This is also the week I committed to learning the orientations of the Rubik’s cube and the terminologies I didn’t understand in the directions. I’ve had somewhat of an understanding of the direction, but still have a hard time performing the action correctly. For example, the instruction will say to rotate this side inverted (counter-clockwise) and I will misinterpret and just rotate it regular (clockwise). This is kind of like forgetting your rights from your lefts. This is frustrating because if one move is messed up everything you’ve done goes to waste and are forced to restart. The orientation labels and instruction are to the Rubik’s cube as the Vedas are to Hinduism. At this point I have the first two algorithms almost down, but struggle quite a bit with anything beyond that. The algorithms jump from being four notations to eight notations. I expect my learning progress from here out to be a little slower than how fast and easy it was for me this week. I just need to set some time to dedicate to learn the Rubik’s cube in the coming weeks so I do not procrastinate if I want to be able to complete the Rubik’s cube completely by memory. This week we touched a little on
Restate Thesis: Hungarian professor Erno Rubik used his knowledge and understanding of architecture and sculpture to create the world’s most successful toy, the Rubik’s Cube.

The CPCAB model underpins all CPCAB’s qualifications. It consists of three parts, which together form a working model of the counsellor. The first two parts also provide a working model of the helper.
During this educational psychology class I have learned how to become a stronger thinker and learner. It took a little while to become a stronger thinker and I am still working on it to this day. Learning strategies can be a very effective way of becoming a more improved thinker and learner. Two learning strategies that I have used throughout the semester are minimizing distractions and doing the learning exercises in the readings. I believe that these two strategies are central to effective learning for myself and I have made much use of these strategies throughout this semester.
We need to be amazed and interested in something if we want to learn about it. For example, is as if a boy watches a soccer game for the first time. He is intrigued by the players' moves and tricks and if he arrives at such point where he likes it, he would love to imitate them. Once he know the basics, or so called definitions, everything else follows. I also agree that the next step is to have courage, courage to pursue and do what you like. To me it is to lose the fear of the unknown, or challenge
Take a moment to think about this objective. What learning skills might come in handy when working through the lesson? You can probably take notes to create an outline for the structure of the piece. Maybe you’ll analyze the text in order to find out how information is structured. If you have ever attempted to convince someone else of something, then you have most likely used persuasive techniques and have structured your argument in a certain way. Open your digital notebook and jot down your strategy and the learning skills you will use to achieve this objective.
Have you ever wondered how the brain develops while we learn? Dr. Rita Smilkstein’s research on The Natural Human Learning Process was interesting. I now know the parts of the brain and how they work. I know now how we learn and how emotions have an impact on how we learn. As college students, we need to understand how our brains work and how emotions can help us learn successfully, since all college students should want to become successful people in their lives during college and throughout their lives.
Therefore it is suggested that you should read everything you can get your hands on that will tell you more about the beliefs of Wicca and Witchcraft. Only by learning as much as you can about the basic beliefs and tenets of this path can you decide if the old way's are right for you.
The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate my experiential learning of personal and social adjustments when confronted with life-changing events and the mechanisms utilized to effectively cope from traumatic experiences. The components supporting this piece include: confronting the problem, learning to adapt and cope, cultivating self-worth, the importance of a support system and over time change influencers. To support my understanding of personal and social adjustments, I will use the content of this paper to speak as evidence of my experiential learning derived from confronting a long-term spiritual abuse situation and process of unraveling and coping from its affects.
Josh Kaufman stated during his speech in the Ted Talk, The First 20 Hours-- How to Learn Anything, “If you put 20 hours of focused, deliberate practice into that thing, you will be astounded”(Kaufman, 00:09:06). Kaufman talked about how someone might be able to learn a certain topic. He brought up 4 steps in being able to learn anything you might be interested in. The steps are to deconstruct the skill, learn enough to self-correct, remove practice barriers, and practice at least 20 hours. People using these steps Kaufman presented in the video, including myself, will be able to learn something that they only dreamed of learning.
“Someday I'll wish upon a star, wake up where the clouds are far behind me. Where trouble melts like lemon drops, high above the chimney top, that's where you'll find me. . .” are the famous lyrics to Israel Kamakawiwo’ole’s ukulele song “Over The Rainbow”. It was also one the first songs I learned on the ukulele. On my birthday, senior year of high school, I received this small instrument with just four strings and the most beautiful sound. Of course, I had no clue on how to play it or where to even begin; whether to learn off YouTube or take lessons, deciding whether to use a pick or not, and even how to hold it correctly. I want to point out, while these might seem like silly issues to worry about, they really are important
They did a great job of answering the questions and coming up with different strategies in order to find what color certain number cube trains were. They completed the worksheet with ease and we were able to correct it together. As we moved farther into it the students started to get a little mixed up on what the color would be if it was the 33rd cube. I explained that you knew what the 28th cube was so add three, then it would be the 31st cube and it would be the same color as the 28th. Then I told them to add three again to 31. The students got 34, and then I told them what was the color before green? They answered correctly and I told them that was the color of the 33rd cube, and that was when I completely lost
-Is a process in which a novice is guided by an expert to participate in and master tasks a great example of this in my life was learning who to ride a bike. First, my mother put training wheels on my bike and she showed me how to pedal and steer and control the bike. Then, she took the training wheels off and held the back of the bike. During this phase I was actually controlling the bike for a little while, when she let go, but she was always right there to grab it if I slowed down, and lost my balance. Finally, I have learned who to push off from the curb and go all by myself down the
My interest in guitar started when my friend used to bring his guitar everyday and I would always want to play but didn't know how. I would always ask him to teach me how to play but I didn't know any of the chords and notes, therefore, I just gave up on attempting to play this new instrument. However, guitar is an elective that’s offered here at Kennedy, so I decided to take the class. I noticed that my friend was getting better the more he practiced, so I decided to join the class to learn the basics and get started on this new journey. At first, it was difficult to understand the notes because I didn’t have any musical background to help assist me for my own benefit. However, I began to focus more in class to learn the basics day by day. Overtime, I learned that you can't learn guitar in one day and you need a lot of practice to get better. I also discovered how progress is important to reach my end goal.
A. Behaviorism, constructivism and cognitivism are relatively common theories used in the classroom as ways to approach student learning. Behaviorism focuses on observable behavior, such as students answering questions correctly, or being able to follow directions to complete a task as instructed. Characteristics of a classroom that uses behaviorism might be memorization of facts, writing vocabulary words, or a token reward system to inspire the desired behavior and decrease undesired behaviors. Constructivism, as indicated by the root word “construct,” focuses on the construction of new ideas, or expanding on what is already known. Students in a classroom using constructivism as a means for learning might seem more actively engaged
