Notetaking

multitask on their laptops instead of solely using them for notetaking, many professors have adopted policies explicitly banning laptops in the classroom. This debate between students and professors has prompted numerous researchers to study the effects of laptop use in the classroom, both on the individual using the laptop and those students surrounding the laptop user. Due to the high prevalence of multitasking that occurs with laptop notetaking, Sana, Weston, and Cepeda (2013) studied the effect of

Math III Honors Responsibilities: To be able to listen and thoroughly follow the given directions.

passages about the topic, and discussing with the teacher the information she has read, after completing reading. The focus learner will write down notes (facts), word for word, from the text she is reading and after completing the entire reading and notetaking she will be go back over her notes and paraphrase the facts/notes into her own grade level words. By writing notes as she is reading and then paraphrasing from the notes, the student is working towards her writing goals by being able to pick out

grade and disappointment from Susie; causing more anxiety and another incomplete assignment due to the lack of focus. Therefore, Susie cannot perform at the optimal level. A simple task as mentioned earlier, notetaking; provides everyone with a tolerance for a higher arousal level. Notetaking is something that can be performed with less thought, effort, and stress which allows someone with anxiety to partake in the activity more easily. Provided that Susie’s main problems are anxiety, disorganization

When thinking about effective reading and writing, a lot of terms come to mind. Terms such as comprehension, writing fluency, etc. Yet one thing I noticed is that these terms can be addressed by one simple idea. The most important aspect of reading and writing has to do with being “critically engaged”. What this means is that you are able to maximize your effectiveness in terms of pacing, time management, and analyzation. Pacing can be the most difficult part of being critically engaged. Reading

This almost seems like one of those times that discussing something and hearing about a similar idea later is more than coincidence. In an almost serendipitous turn of events, I have spent the week discussing with teachers the importance of differentiation, and more importantly, the adherence to presenting material in more than one way through our professional learning communities. This was along similar lines to Gardner’s work with learning styles as discussed by Hattie in Visible Learning (2012)

I am writing this letter in regards of the dismissal from the Nursing Program at The College of New Jersey (TCNJ), due to my inadequate and unsatisfactory performance in Anatomy & Physiology II (BIO 142) and Principles of Microbiology (BIO 144), which are both seminal Nursing prerequisites. But, before I continue and explain my downfall, I want to first off apologize for the inconvenience, and disappointment, that I have bestowed on you all. You all have selected and chose the handful of amazing

My Journey Through English 111 English 111 has made a positive impact on me as a student. I have learned a lot in English considering the short amount of time I have spent in the class. English has always been one of my strong points, but I have always looked to find ways to improve my English skills. During the class I learned several new techniques and skills to improve myself as a student. I am glad I had a smart professor to help guide me along the way. Attendance is an area I did well on

do. I found the notetaking process itself helpful, as it ensured that I listened carefully and decoded information. Not all the information I recorded was relevant, but noting what I found informative contributed to my ability to form an overview on re-reading. However, the reliability of jotted notes alone can be questionable. For example, the notes were not a direct transcription of what the subjects said but consisted of pertinent or interesting information. I found the notetaking process itself
