My note taking skills have increased, along with my proficiency in utilizing elearn and my test taking skills.  Before taking this class my note taking skills were undefined and unorganized. Through taking this class I have learned about the different test taking methods and I have been able use these methods to benefit me in my studies. I improved in this area because I used the different methods of note taking and learned about their implementation. The reason I improved was because I worked through the lesson concerning note taking and completed it. My proficiency in utilizing the elearn service was limited before taking this class as I had little experience with it. This class however did teach me to utilize it effectively. I improved because I worked through the course and learned the ins and outs of the service. The reason I improved was because I was committed to learned how it worked. My test taking skills were also limited before I took this class. With perseverance though I managed to improve through taking the course. The reason I improved was because I had the motivation to learn how to take notes more effectively. ]]> 2017-12-05 23:15:55 UTC https://padlet.com/brendan_morgan/lelp5j9o9u7v/wish/213538270 brendan_morgan https://padlet.com/brendan_morgan/lelp5j9o9u7v/wish/213546655 2017-12-06 00:25:41 UTC https://padlet.com/brendan_morgan/lelp5j9o9u7v/wish/213546655 brendan_morgan https://padlet.com/brendan_morgan/lelp5j9o9u7v/wish/213547400 Three areas that could still use some work would be my time management and organization skills. I also need to stop procrastinating. When managing my time the word managing hardly applies. You could say I don't manage my time or at least not very well. That is probably why I always seem to be out of of. I need to learn how to manage my time more effectively to allow for a balanced amount of work and play. As for how I am going to improve I plan to force my self to adhere to a schedule that allows me to get the most out of everyday. There aren't any resources at Sinclair that can help me with this I think this is something that I will half to accomplish on my own. I also need to work on my organizational skills, as my desk looks like a bomb went off. This lack of structure is probably limiting my productivity and improving will allow me to get more done. I plan to make these improvements by cleaning up my desk and organizing my folders. Once again I don't think Sinclair can help me with this one. Procrastination is one of my greatest weaknesses and it often result in my staying up late to complete assignment that should have been done a long time ago right before they are due. I plan to fix my problem by establishing times during the day to study so I don't end up waiting till the last minute to get my work done. The counseling services at Sinclair might be able to assist me in this endeavor.]]> 2017-12-06 00:32:17 UTC https://padlet.com/brendan_morgan/lelp5j9o9u7v/wish/213547400 brendan_morgan https://padlet.com/brendan_morgan/lelp5j9o9u7v/wish/214370603 These are the five things I learned from this class that will help me become successful.
