It fits well with my schedule to be able to turn in my chapter reading quizzes on Wednesdays and my discussion posts on Sunday.

It has been very interesting and as a psychology major it has changed my outlook on life. - Alexis Ulrey ]]> 2023-02-16 14:20:27 UTC https://padlet.com/mselle15/h30y712pw17ve7wx/wish/2485036285 https://padlet.com/mselle15/h30y712pw17ve7wx/wish/2485037351 I believe the discussions are working best for me so far. I find that when Professor Sinclair leaves comments on my discussion post, it allows me to learn from my mistakes and make adjustments on my next discussion.

For the discussions, I find it helpful to watch or read the resources a couple of times and then go back to "The Pursuit of Happiness" and relate the concepts back to the text. - Maddie Tucker]]> 2023-02-16 14:21:38 UTC https://padlet.com/mselle15/h30y712pw17ve7wx/wish/2485038105 https://padlet.com/mselle15/h30y712pw17ve7wx/wish/2485038422 Doing my work super early and on time is working the best for me. This allows me to have time for my other classes and gives me time just incase an emergency pops up in my schedule. Organization has also helped me in many ways such as writing down notes for each chapter that could help me with the quiz. - Joshua Nguyen]]> 2023-02-16 14:21:50 UTC https://padlet.com/mselle15/h30y712pw17ve7wx/wish/2485038422 https://padlet.com/mselle15/h30y712pw17ve7wx/wish/2485038677 Whats working for me is not waiting till the last minute to do the assignments. Right after I read the assigned chapters I take the quiz for that chapter. Then I answer the discussion board the next day.

When doing the quizzes, highlighting the book and reading the topics she wants us to know helps with getting a good grade. I also like how we have plenty of time to answer the discussion board. ]]> 2023-02-16 14:22:29 UTC https://padlet.com/mselle15/h30y712pw17ve7wx/wish/2485039544 https://padlet.com/mselle15/h30y712pw17ve7wx/wish/2485040472 I like how everything is laid out for you in each Module. It's very convenient. All the deadlines are the same, which makes it easy to keep track of. I also like how we have access to our groups if we ever need help or advice.

To me, the responses are not very helpful, as I do not take away a lot from them. - Alexis Ulrey]]> 2023-02-16 14:23:20 UTC https://padlet.com/mselle15/h30y712pw17ve7wx/wish/2485040964 https://padlet.com/mselle15/h30y712pw17ve7wx/wish/2485041000 Something that has not been working well for me in this course is my writing skills.

At the beginning, however, I struggled with the first quiz,  didn't do bad but didn't do as well as I would have wanted. But ever since then, I've gotten a really good score on each one, so I don't have much to say in regards to things not working for me in this course, for now.

In addition, I would definitely take notes in the chapter because some of the questions on the quizzes are very specific so having notes is very helpful. - Joshua Nguyen]]> 2023-02-16 14:26:30 UTC https://padlet.com/mselle15/h30y712pw17ve7wx/wish/2485046234 https://padlet.com/mselle15/h30y712pw17ve7wx/wish/2485046358 I feel like if the was not a required word count I would be able to give the same information with having so much filler content and things that don't pertain as much to what we are supposed to really be writing about. With a smaller word count I would be able to be more precise. - Jake Smull]]> 2023-02-16 14:26:35 UTC https://padlet.com/mselle15/h30y712pw17ve7wx/wish/2485046358 https://padlet.com/mselle15/h30y712pw17ve7wx/wish/2485046381 Overall, I think the semester has been going good.

She will tell you exactly what she wants you to change and as long as you follow that, your grade will improve. -Maddie Tucker]]> 2023-02-16 14:27:39 UTC https://padlet.com/mselle15/h30y712pw17ve7wx/wish/2485047998 https://padlet.com/mselle15/h30y712pw17ve7wx/wish/2485048648 I think the semester has been going pretty good.

Also, including the quiz topics is very helpful because it gives me an idea of what to expect. Lastly, the consistent  weekly schedule is a great set-up.

I would also use sticky notes to mark where each section is. ]]> 2023-02-16 14:28:58 UTC https://padlet.com/mselle15/h30y712pw17ve7wx/wish/2485050282 https://padlet.com/mselle15/h30y712pw17ve7wx/wish/2485051039 Overall I think this semester is going well now that I have some things figured out.

Make a schedule and try to stick with it. Another tip I would give is to try and take the quiz right after you have read the chapters. Try not to take the quiz a couple days after you have read.
