Study room -the student hotel west
I usually study in the study room in the student hotel west . It's a good choice when I want to focus win my work without distracting all the time (which happens a lot when I study at home)

Instead of creating a song to remember all the drawing of FUNCTION GRAPH, I got inspired by drawing comics to memorize those function graph . This study strategy is very interesting way for everyone to remember . Except this strategy , I also try to build up my mind palace to remember it ,but it's invisible and I have no ability to draw a 3D picture for it ,but just for mention , I am trying a lot of creative study strategies.

After such a first experience of group study , I think there are still a lot of space that we can improve . For example , I really hope everyone can join into the discussion of weekly quiz instead of only part of us doing it. Everyone should be responsible for our team and it's shameful for taking a free ride all the time .

After I finished my first AES draft , I received the feedbacks from my teacher. He reminded me that I should do at least one or two direct quotations, besides I also added more strong and clear evidence to support my opinion as what he suggested. That is really helping me out . Here is my AES final essay.

1、About reading : sometimes I feel a little bit stressful when there are a lot of readings. But I try to overcome this feeling in using different active study strategies . For example , avoiding the bad feeling for procrastination by reading the materials in the morning. As soon as I feel stressful about it , I deal it immediately . It turned out to be workable ,however sometimes I only read half of them then I stop . Fortunately, I found my way of addressing this problem , I used my fragmentary time to read such as the time of waiting the tram ,or the time of boiling the water .

2、About weekly quizzes : I really enjoy this part , I feel excited when I have these quizzes . I think it's because I always read these materials and I can achieve one of my goals through these quizzes . One of my goals is being more interactive in the class, to achieve this goal I did a lot of appeals in every group quizzes, though sometimes it was a not very nice appeal , Kieran still encouraged me a lot .

3、About teamwork : For this semester , most of my homework is PDP and readings ,actually there are not a lot of group study(teamwork) to do . But after my first group study , I felt bad and disappointed because we were not doing it together and we did it pretty bad . So after writing down the drawbacks , we finally found three achievable actions . And I am very confident that we will have a better and successful teamwork next time .

4、About the PDP : I feel productive when I am doing my PDP because every time I add a table to my PDP, I can reflect myself by seeing my goals very clearly, and I can see my progress for every week . I think it’s a very good method for me to keep away from study stresses and self-confusion . And now I am doing the last part of this PDP for the first semester , I feel rewarding for keeping on doing it .

After doing the web quest form of VU university, I personally think that it is not an efficient and convenient way to ask for help from educational coordinator for these VU students who has some academic problems . It's because the educational coordinator is responsible for a lot of different issues such as consulting ,complaints and academic problems. I believe if VU separates the academic section out of these for it maybe very crowded and inconvenient for students to represent their problems . It's essential to make sure there is enough space and time for students to express the real thoughts
