A word to describe how I feel about this class is optimistic.
My strengths in study skills are learning how to adapt different learning styles if something isn’t working for me, for example if reading a text doesn’t help me maintain information I gravitate towards note taking. Writing things out and seeing it in front of me is something that helps me maintain topics that I’m learning. I would say I want to improve my ability to paraphrase, expand my vocabulary, and my ability to skim through text while still grasping key points in the information/writing that is given to me.
Writing for me hasn’t been my strongest suit, I gravitate more towards numbers, and overall just concrete facts and evidence. I want to expand my imagination and learn how to take any topic and make it work even when it doesn’t require critical reasoning.
Hi Leslie, I love that you are a numbers person. Perhaps you can incorporate your preference for numbers into your writing this semester. Let’s brainstorm about this as the semester progresses!
