This guidance class has helped me get a better understanding of how to become a successful student in college. I really enjoyed learning new writing techniques, different styles of notetaking, test taking skills and especially my learning style because now I know different techniques to help me learn to my full ability. I plan on using a weekly schedule to become more organized in college. I want to use this type of schedule because it will help me stay on task and meet the goals that I set for myself. When you create a time schedule it helps you get a visual of what you're going to do all throughout the day. By having a visual of what your day will look like even reduces stress throughout the day.
I also plan to utilize my entire brain to get the most out of school. In order to do this I will start by studying in a group. I usually don't study with other people but I was informed that when you speak about a topic to another person you get a better understanding of the topic. Another way I plan on studying more effectively is by creating flashcards, pictures and hierarchies. All of these help you use your full learning ability and also help you strengthen your visualization techniques. …show more content…

The most important thing I learned from this class is great test taking skills. I always stress myself out about tests and how to study but I learned that I need to stop procrastinating, study in smaller amounts throughout the day, get enough sleep, eat well, and always complete test questions with my best guess. Its better to have a complete test than multiple blanks even if I'm not absolutely positive that it's correct. By making an educated guess you still have 50/50 chance at being correct rather than having no chance because you left an answer

...out homework, which was a huge stress relief. The class also offered how to write the base foundation of any paper, which is significant to become a great writer as well as to write a flawless paper. Also, the group activities allowed us to get closer with our classmates. However, I feel like some of the activities we did were mediocre and ordinary. But it is hard to tell what experience each student received from their high school. Some knew more than others, and I was just more grateful with the education I obtained from high school. I was also not fond of buying the books for the class, when it was not a necessity for class. We did not put much use into the books, and they were relatively expensive. I do recommend the class, especially to incoming freshman. It is a great foundation for legitimate college writing classes. I enjoyed learning from you Mrs. Penwell.

Dual Enrollment Reflection

With college right around the corner and taking a college course gave a real sense of how college classes are going to work giving me an edge over all of the other students going to college that didn’t take a dual enrollment course. Dual enrollment was honestly one of the best decisions I made in my academic career because like what I was saying this class taught me the inner workings of how most assignment are going to be turned in, what it means to be self-reliant/ on your own have no help with assignment from your parents, experiencing a course that only a handful of assignment rather than a ton of assignment ends up making up over eighty percent of your grade (getting you to work extra hard so you won’t fail) and finally that you have to actually interact with the professor/teacher if you need help or are having trouble with an

Without a doubt the lessons and exercises on time management were the most meaningful to me. They brought insight into why I seemed to be constantly working yet still never really got anything I wanted to accomplish throughout the day finished. I realized the majority of the activities I had been spending the most time on didn’t reflect my values of hard work and self discipline and long term academic goals to be successful in college. This motivated to completely change the way I managed my time by effectively striking a balance between my maintenance, committed, and free time.

In the Field: A Guide for the Social Work Practicum, helps students to make the leap from the theories they learned in the classroom to the real world they will encounter in their field placement. It addresses issues that students often struggle within their beginning practicum and reinforces that co-workers, supervisors, and the students ' own life experiences have much offer (Danowski, 2012).

Looking back over the course of the semester, I feel that I learned many new and interesting uses for technology within the classroom – both for classrooms that have a lot of technology and for classrooms that are limited with technology. For the majority of the class, we utilized William Kists’ book The Socially Networked Classroom: Teaching in the New Media Age (2010), which provided multiple modes of instruction that both utilized and/or created technology. One of the first things that I remember, and consequently that stuck with me through the course’s entirety, is that individuals must treat everything as a text. Even a garden is a text. The statement made me change the way that I traditionally viewed Language Arts both as a student and as a teacher, as I very narrowly saw literature and works of the like as texts only; however, by considering nearly anything as a text, one can analyze, study, and even expand his/her knowledge. Kist (2010) states that society is “experiencing a vast transformation of the way we “read” and “write,” and a broadening of the way we conceptualize “literacy” (p. 2). In order to begin to experience and learn with the modern classroom and technologically advanced students, individuals must begin to see new things as literature and analyze those things in a similar manner.

Psychology Class Reflection
2302 Words | 5 Pages
Over the course of this class I have pieced together many things about my own life that before went unnoticed. I am now able to see things in a bit of a different light. Now that I have been introduced to the realm of psychology I understand some of the reasons for behavior around me. I have learned that there is a reason for most everything and a lot of our behaviors and mental processes can be explained through psychology. Studies have been conducted for many years to try and pinpoint the source of our behavior and it is not something that most people think about every day. Having a better understanding of why we operate the way we do will help me to better understand myself and the others around me.

I learned a lot about so many different things that can and probably will be brought up in my future classes, like the DSM-5 and criteria. How one day I may have to be able to use what I have found in the DSM-5’s criteria and apply it to a disorder or mental health issue, which is something I have already done for two of my other classes this semester. Anything is possible so I would just need to be prepared for it but this class has helped me so I can continue my academic path and be

Lesson Reflection

Going to placement is one of the best parts of my week because I really appreciate learning from Mrs. Much. Mrs. Much begins class by having the students sit on the carpet, while she explains the lesson for the week. Last week’s lesson was to be able to put events or ideas in order using the words first, next, and last. This week students were learning a whole new lesson. This week’s lesson was to be able to use text features, such as photographs, bold print, illustrations, labels and glossary to find information. Mrs. Much introduces the lesson by giving an example on how students should use text features to find information about their book. Mrs. Much did an exciting countdown “three, two, one start reading” before the student’s silent read

Through the completion of my graduate program in Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment, I have gained an immense amount of knowledge and a plethora of skills which I have used and found valuable in my seventh grade English classroom. My outlook on student learning and my empathy towards students has also been positively affected by the program. These learning opportunities have led me to become a better educator both inside and outside of the classroom.

For my assignment I have decided to choose a group which I have just finished taking for level 1 Hairdressing and they have progressed on to level 2 Hairdressing. This is within my current role as a hairdressing lecturer at Hugh Baird College which I have done since October. Within this group there are a couple of people who have support workers. There is one student within the group who has severe learning difficulties and is a more mature student. She also has many health problems which results in her having to carry an oxygen tank around for when she has any problems with her breathing due to her having problems with her heart. There is also another student in the class who has learning difficulties, she is very clever but just needs someone there for when she needs something explaining. She also has a support worker that comes in to give her support. This student has also been going through personal problems at home and has attendance issues. There is another student within this group who has severe dyslexia. She doesn’t have a support worker but the support people who are in there do give her help as she can have a tendency to give up, not to listen and just needs to be kept on track so by sitting next to a person that does have a support worker she gets the help from them. These three students have all had their level 1 qualification extended for a year were the rest of the group have progressed on to level 2 Hairdressing. Two of these students may progress on to level 2 but one doesn’t have the ability to be able to do this as the requirements are too high for her. The reason the course was extended for them was because they were struggling with the work that was required for this qualification, but as the col...

Reflection On 15-1 Telling Time

After reflecting on the lesson performed in my cooperation classroom, I have many thoughts on the lesson. My partner Kate and I decided that we would do the lesson together and have the entire class evolved. When we got to the classroom we realized that the students were having a math test that day and we had to change our plans slightly to make our lesson fit in the time slot. Luckily we have two prep periods before the students even have class so we were able to go through our lesson and make sure we knew what we were going to say. Our lesson occurred right after their lunch period so around 12:30, however the students took their math test first. The lesson we did was based our lesson on the next section in the book, which was telling time. The objective of the lesson was to further the student’s knowledge of time and who to tell time.

Reflection Of A Lesson Plan
1328 Words | 3 Pages
Each lesson plan presents its own unique issues. The lesson plan this week focused primarily on a lab. I wanted to make sure that the information in the lab was fully applicable to a lesson and a SOL. During my field placement, my cooperating teacher had me design a lesson plan about photosynthesis. I chose to use the powerpoint and lesson I taught and modify it for this assignment. This was much easier to say than do. This was a good experience though because it taught me even modifying a lesson plan can be time consuming and challenging. It was nice to be able to use PowerPoints I had already created, though.

Assessment Reflection
969 Words | 2 Pages
As I reflect on my past assessment process, I realized how much my assessments have changed over the years. In my early years, I used tests for informational recall as my assessments. I felt these were appropriate guidelines in which I needed to follow in order to substantiate a student’s grade. Every assignment or tests was given a point value and then based on the amount of points, a grade was given. Every student’s assessment was exactly the same, and the assessments did not contain any subjectivity. I felt confident in giving the grade based on a valid point system. However reflecting back, I see that I did not include any performance-based assessments or individual learning styles in my early assessment. I also did not take into consideration the individual needs of my students. My assessment approach was awful. I am embarrassed that I use to assess students in this manner.

Teaching Methods Reflection

In this course I experienced an important change in my beliefs about teaching; I came to understand that there are many different theories and methods that can be tailored to suit the teacher and the needs of the student. The readings, especially those from Lyons, G., Ford, M., & Arthur-Kelly, M. (2011), Groundwater-Smith, S., Ewing, R., & Le Cornu, R. (2007), and Whitton, D., Barker, K., Nosworthy, M., Sinclair, C., Nanlohy, P. (2010), have helped me to understand this in particular. In composing my essay about teaching methods and other themes, my learning was solidified, my knowledge deepened by my research and my writing skills honed.
