New Academic Skills I'm Learning

In this unit one skill I have reincorporated into my life is taking notes in Cornell notes style (Chapter 29: Taking Notes in Class). Taking Cornell notes was a skill I learned in middle school and which I continued to use throughout high school, but I did not use it efficiently. What I mean by this is that when I would take Cornell notes it was just that; I barely never interacted with it afterwards such as highlighting and starring important ideas and questions I think would be on the test. It was also rare that I would use the system as a study tool such as folding it looking at just the questions to help with retention. Since starting college I tried taking a different route to taking notes, but I found it difficult to study them. Since revisiting different note taking styles I have began taking a lot of my notes using the Cornell notes method. This past week I applied it to my Nutrition notes and noticed how much more efficient and concise my notes have been. I've also began i...

My Sleep Habits

 Check the appropriate boxes: Usually Sometimes Never I get 7–8 hours of sleep at night.      X           I feel sleepy or have trouble focusing during the day.     X I take a nap when I feel drowsy or need more sleep.     X I fall asleep or have trouble staying awake in class.          X I fall asleep while studying.     X I stay up all night to study for exams or write papers.          X Looking back at my sleep schedule this week, I get about 8 hours of sleep on both weeknights and weekend nights, but even 8 hours of sleep is not enough to help me function properly throughout the day. During this week, I've noticed that with the amount of sleep I'm getting every night, I get drowsy and start slouching in my chair halfway throughout the day while studying. I also tend to take a lot more breaks from studying because my attention span becomes shorte...

My Civic Engagement Experience

 After completing this unit, I feel more civically engaged. Truthfully, prior to this unit, I did not know that voting on propositions was a thing. However, after being informed of these propositions, I realized how important it is for us to voice our opinions on these issues.  As this unit required me to do some research, I learned how time consuming research can be especially when you have to make sure you are pulling information from credible sources.   Being that this unit was also group preformed, there were definitely some challenges mainly with communication. It was difficult to get ahold of some of group members to make sure they were doing their part. As team leader, I messaged them on Canvas, but when I realized that only two of my group members getting back to me, I tried to ask if there were other ways I could effectively communicate with them, but only one of my group members got back to me on that issue. Soon it came the day to turn in the...
