The word that describes how I feel about this course is nervous, not to be negative but this mostly describes on how I feel about college I’m general not on this course. For me studying skill consist of being in a quiet space, no distractions I basically set a timer and study for that time and try my best to have no distractions like phones iPad or any music but sometimes I do get distracted and is something I am still working on. Questions that come up as a new college student is, how can I transition from learning in high school to now being a college student? How can I find a good time to study or organize my schedule good enough for me to have time to study for all my courses?

I chose this picture because it was taken in my favorite place it’s also one of my favorite beaches to visit whenever I go abroad.

I am feeling good about this course and going into college. Some study skills that work best for me is working independently. Working independently helps with distractions. I work best in a quit environment with no electronics to distract myself with. Even though, I still tend to distract myself with electronics and it’s something I would like to improve and learn to not do. Some questions I have in regards to college is how would the working environment be. Would the way they teach here be any different from high school? How will that affect me ?
I choose this image because the gym is something I like. It is something I am passionate about.

Homework 1.1

Being a student can be intimidating, confusing, and just plain difficult! 

So for these first few days, you get to vent about it! No kidding. Share your concerns with each other. Maybe give each other some advice or just a good old bit of support. Believe me — instructors have many of the same worries you do, even if we’ve been teaching for a while. I also promise not to hijack the conversations, either! 

Here’s what you’ll do:

    1. PLAY with the website. You can’t break it. Honestly. I’ve tried. Click around on all the tabs. See what’s there! We’ll be doing a great deal of work here this semester, so make yourself familiar with the sit
    2. READ/ WATCH:
    3. WRITE A NEW POST: Start with one word that describes how you’re feeling about this course and college in general as we get started. No need to explain, but you can if you want to. 
      • Talk about your study skills. What works for you and what doesn’t? What do you need to learn how to do better?
      • Talk about your worries, concerns, reactions to the readings and/or to being a college student… whatever you want to. No censoring… except keep it kind of clean, please ;-). And
      • Add a picture that means something to you, and explain why you chose it — why does it mean something to you?
      • Make sure the post category is INTRO
    4.  Check back in and comment on your peers’ work!
