This week we all did a Power Point Presentation on memory strategies. We all agreed that the mnemonic memory strategies definitely were useful and contributed to a great amount of our groups work this past week. These strategies were extremely effective and definitely made it easier to grasp a better and faster understating of the the material. Everyone is on the right track and should be finishing the rest of the year fully prepared for the best strategies to use in each class and more importantly the results are finally showing to the people who actually use and follow the steps of these strategies. #GOCHOPPERS

This week we did a powerpoint presentation on memory strategies and I found that it was extremely useful for my tests this week and my upcoming tests in the future. This week especially I put this information to use and learned a lot with different acronyms that i can make which intern makes it much easier to memorize concepts and ideas. The next time I really want to use these strategies, is for my Physiology class next semester because that covers a substantial amount of material and I need to simplify that information into acronyms, rhymes and other strategies that we use.

I thought that these memory strategies were very effective in helping me memorize the things that I need to do especially for my PPE 200 class. Specifically, the rhyme was the most helpful strategy because it is very useful when I forget a specific term on a test. The Acronyms are also useful because it is easier than memorizing an entire sentence or any other long terms. The only non beneficial with this is the amount of time it takes to create an acronym or a rhyme. The next time I use these strategies, I would like to use them for my anatomy 2 class next semester because that covers a lot of material and I need to simplify that information into acronyms, rhymes and other strategies.

This week we discussed many different strategies but I think we all agreed on 1 major strategy which was planning ahead/ studying prior to exams. Both of these are extremely important and both if done wrong could really impact your grade negatively. Studying before exams and planning better will lead to you processing information much quicker and effectively rather than studying the night before or even the day of which will lead to bad test scores and eventually a bad GPA.

Using these strategies, I have already started to see some improvement in planning ahead and studying in advance. I plan to use this strategy for my Health and Sociology classes because those are the ones that I have most of my exams in. By studying in advance allows me not to cram everything in the last day or even the same day hours before the test. Also, I have seen that studying a little everyday is much more beneficial than studying a lot in a couple days. The main problem with this is that sometimes my teachers don't put a study guide in advance so the only way is to actually go up and talk to the professor and ask them to put it up which is something I am currently working on. Another big improvement I would like to make is focusing. I found that it is all about the environment you are in when you are doing your work. If I am in the right space doing my work, I can be very productive but the same happens if I'm not in the right environment. Overall, I see a lot of potential in these strategies and I can't wait to put them to work.

PROBLEM SOLVING TUMBLR POST 9

Using these strategies, I hope to benefit by bettering my planning skills and studying in advance. I plan to use this strategy for my PPE class and any other ones that have tests. The benefit of this strategy is that I can do better on my tests. The challenge is planning effectively ahead so I can study all of the material ahead of time. Next time, I can make sure I use this strategy so I do not perform poorly on any of my other tests.

This past week was learning various different reading strategies and finding which one worked best for ones given class. Once we found out which strategy worked best, I think for the most part we all agreed that it was definitely important and useful to take a look and see how these strategies are effective and why it works. When one does not enjoy what they are reading it can be extremely difficult to retain the information given, so you have to find ways to work around that and reading some of these strategies and then applying it, as a group we found it was very helpful. #GOCHOPPERS!!!

The first reading strategy that was useful was Chunking. It helped me move from reading the text to paraphrasing. Also, it improved comprehension and retention of ideas and really cutting down and figuring out what is important or the key points. Another reading strategy I used was the Mr. R reading strategy. This strategy really emphasizes attention span and recitation and I found out that it was very effective if you do it the right way. The last strategy I used was Flash Card Reading but I made a Quizlet instead which I think is more helpful because it also has flash cards on it too but it also has other games and learning ways to gain a better understanding of the terms and definitions. This strategy is mainly for terms that you are getting tested on and have to know or memorize.

- PROCRASTINATION Doing these pages in my book made me realize that I can take steps in order to stop procrastinating. By listing out the things that I do to procrastinate and breaking down each class with an anti procrastination strategy, It is easier for me to take a step closer to cut my procrastination habits. I used the strategy of the procrastination attack plan by planning out how I will do my next essay for my writing class. This strategy seems very effective because I can already see how I will get tasks done ahead of time for this essay without cramming and procrastinating. It is a challenge because I am use to procrastinating but I have to do this to kick my habit. By planning ahead of what I will do, this is a strategy that will help me approach my work differently so that I am not procrastinating as much. Shaian Parawan

Procrastination

Habits are things we do continually because if we don’t do them, it would make us uncomfortable. It might be physical or mental. To get rid of these uncomfortable feelings we carry out our habit. However, humans aren’t perfect. Everybody must get their own bad habits, it is just the matter of how big or small they are. If I need to choose one bad habit that affects my daily life significantly, I would say procrastination as my most annoying bad habit. Procrastination means always put off things that need to be done presently. This can be happened on me in various aspects. For example, I always hand in my homework just before the deadline, though I know I need to do that long time ago. When I promise my friends to do something, I usually do not do that immediately. I only do that until my friend remind me once again and again. Sometimes I get late in class though I have prepared enough time for myself to get ready. MY TIPS ON HOW TO BETTER MY PROCRASTINATION

--Write out a schedule

--Plan out my day and take precautions of any NECESSITIES and any WANTS

--Get stuff done early so I can have more time to hang later

--Incentives to get through my day

This past week we learned about a lot of procrastination strategies that are going to be very helpful for the future. I think this past week was one of the most beneficial weeks to me personally because I have trouble with staying on top of things and these strategies have helped me gain a better understanding as to when and how I am doing each individual assignment.
