This past week I planned to study for my Jazz History and Sociology exam. I also finished annotating the psychology chapter with my group for the content area project. I'm ecstatic to announce that I was indeed successful on completing these tasks. The reading strategies I utilized for the psychology chapter was the SQ3R since all I had to do was annotate and formulate a couple of questions. I answered the questions accordingly and also summarized after every page just to make sure i retained the information. Summarizing was extremely helpful; i could refer to it without haveing to read the whole page again. On the other hand, I employed my study skills practice on both of my exams. I turned subheadings into questions and then I answered them which helped me give suffice information about the content.
Next week I need to focus on my content area project. I need to modify my strategy on becoming more focused. I also need to take my work more seriously; I can’t procrastinate. I need to get my work ready before the due date just so I can give my best effort. Involving my study skills are also essential to this upcoming weeks essay as I have to read and annotate an article and debate my opinion. My reading skills will include summarizing, producing questions, and annotating prominent ideas to argue my opinion accurately. I will also have to memorize my vocabulary for my reading class and will do so by utilizing the graffiti note cards. I will continue to use my study skills as well as my reading strategies throughout my classes.
As I was reading your reflection I saw we had similar plans. When you talked about your content area project it reminded me of mine and got me thinking about what I have and haven't done. So I thank you for that. I also like how you will be using your study skills to improve other assignments. Good reflection :)
