    Week 2 assignment: One word would be uneasy. This is because I’m aware that high school is a different environment than college. At the moment I feel like I will get to a point where I will feel overwhelmed and not manage time accordingly.

    I feel like I tend to overthink after studying and that causes me to forget some of the things I already knew, but what has worked is using flash cards and getting repeated things to me a couple of times either to myself or in class. For the first class I think I was able to clearly understand the first reading and how it connected to the class overall. I do hope I get better at not being too nervous to ask questions when I feel lost.

    – Ive gotten pretty good at studying for math but I’m not so sure about other subjects.

    – im definitely worried about paying for college and how it’s going to go.

      The word that describes how I’m feeling about the class is confident. Reason being its an interesting class and things move smoothly.

      • My learning skill is being able to grasp certain concepts quickly. What works for me is when the teacher makes the topic easy to understand. I need to learn how to stay focused more.
      • My concerns about being a college student is being able to stay on top of all my work.
  6. Nathan

    The word that describes how I’m feeling about this class is curious, I’m looking forward to seeing what we’ll be learning.

    • taking notes and physically writing down things I’ve learned helps me summarize what Ive learned throughout the day, I need to do it often for it to work…
    • My one big concern is forgetting assignments because I was told handing in assignments late isn’t as leisure as it was in highschool.
