Online Class Experience, Study Habits and Strategies (Week 3-6)

This post will show you my experiences in the past 2 months so far, with my own tactics when handle requirements as a First year college student.

Week 3 (November 3, 2021)

This Week is filled with asynchronous classes as I have much free time to study and, this online class experience, gives me a lot of time to finish all my requirements and prepare for finals week, The only effective way for me to study is to have time, using notion app like a to-do list on requirements so I can mark which requirements I shall do it first, which gradually helps me mark my to-do list. While in this week, We received a Mental Health Break which is kinda good but a double edged sword which pilled up the requirements, kinda backfire but I have many patience to do this, I remind myself it is greater good to put in these situations.

Week 4 (November 17, 2021)

This week, I felt tired at this time as requirements and finals are coming as is a very crucial moment for me to give you my strategies on how to optimize and manage time more fluid that it's like you flip an hourglass except instead of sand, it filled with sticky water with robust adhesion. In this journey/experience in an online class, I read many philosophical topics on life, mainly on stoicism. I admire the roman senator named Seneca as his quote changed my mind towards time,

"it is not that we have a short time to live but that we waste a lot of it."

My mentality altered as my productivity changed as well, To manage time is to pick what's the best time to do and, the best to do it is now because the more you wait the more it losses opportunity, however, it's not all suitable in all situations, sometimes in life.

Week 5 (December 1, 2021) This week I was too prepared to take the final exam as next week I need to study more, however with a time limit of two hours, as I found that time that you can learn for two hours with a high chance of efficient studying, this strategy is working unless you take an effort because, as a procrastinator, I tried my best to work my ass off while making progress and learning new method in this skill but I don't push myself as I see this futile, go with a flow, rest for five minutes then work.

Week 6 (December 15, 2021) In the midst of enrollment, I have three video requirements, even I finish taking final exams, I have the video requirements to do this semester, the advice I can give to myself and other's who read this, this week that make your time and stress as a friend, you know it doesn't make sense nonetheless to make them friends, firstly make your stress as a motivation, a reminder that you stress the heck out of things and think to yourself why? Why do you start it to finish and make things happen? This shift of mentality makes my laziness discarded and did the job done, in time in other factors, it's about a decision, work hard, get an easy life or work easy, get a hard life. People say time is short, time is just there that we wasted a lot of it that we consumed time for social media and overthinking as for my experience, short advice for this one is, Take risks, don't waste thinking of it and it will be worth it.

Online Class Experience, Study Habits, and Strategies (Week 2)

After two weeks, I found an app that will help me optimize my time management with its notes, calendar, and other features. This app can notify my requirements, personal stuff, and more. 

The first time I saw this app was by a small YouTuber named Nicole Alba and she is a blogger and content creator that creates videos on personal finance, investing, self-development, and other things. She is only educating and not taking a piece of financial advice seriously though we can research on our own.

She Introduced to me from a YouTube video named "how I organize my bRAiN with Notion (mini-tour + beginner tutorial)" here's the link for the video.

The video helped me to use the Notion app as I started to explore and how to organize my works in the app and, I began to use it thanks to her tutorial also sooner or later, I will create the Calendar in 2.5 using the notion. 

My tip for surviving in Online Class is to have a connection to your classmates by helping them in case of need, reach out to them and casually chat and talk about their day and communicate.

2.3

In my online experience in classes, there are differences in a face-to-face experience, like on sending requirements, recitation and, online mode is a mirror to the traditional way of teaching but less effective over time. However, it's still allowing me to learn and invest in my education, which requires having more self-discipline and motivation for my course.

In my strategy for the exams and quizzes, there's one thing that makes my studying more effective, that it starts when you study two days before the exam, then after one day of learning a topic for an exam you relax and chill. Which gives me relaxation and focus when I take an online examination, Rather than having a mental block.

In Study Habits, I study at night time than daylight, as I am always busy in the morning and afternoon that I always attend online classes, focusing on my mental health, and socializing with other people which is needed to put time and effort to balance than to focus only studying or yourself. In my advice is, don't take it too seriously to study, even though it's prioritized. Make studying fun and habitable to unable to learn.
