Learning Profile

1) This class was to help students make the change to college from high school. She shows you how to do certain papers and or projects you might have. It is insightfull because there are so many things that you need and its all right there and she shows you how to use it. We did many activies in class to get that first hand experince that you need to really get it. It took me a while before I got a hang of this blog but all I had to do was ask for help. The one thing that I used from day one when I learned about how to do it was the citation marker or maker which ever one it happens to be. One thing that I could have used a little more would be work on the computer. I know its not a computer class and if I need computer skills then I need to take a computer course. But just get them comfortable and make sure they are comfortable. Also that speed reader thing was pretty cool, it to gets you thinking and putting more effort than you noramlly would, it pushs you to do better. I missed a few classes do to work and Dr. appointment. So I missed a few things and it hurt so I recomend that you sure make it a class to come to.

2) My strengths as a learner would have to be hands on, group, single activies and being vocal. When I see something done or it is explained to me I tend to do a lot better. Being vocal would be good for someone who is not vocal, this is the class to fine tip that skill. Be comfortable to make a mistake in fornt of people. That skill reader was one that sticks out to me. It made me push myself to beat my score from last time. This is all so a skill that it wouldn't hurt to get sharpened and improve on it. Its also the one that I liked the most. I just might have more weakness than strengths when writing stuff down but I feel confident in doing whatever it is. Unless it is this blog this thing has just killed me and made me hate computers all over again.
But the greatest strength I have would be I hate to fail, and will do what it takes to over come it.

3) Like I said before I feel that I have more weaknesses then strengths. My biggest is probably be comprehension. I don't mean I am stupid I mean take this blog for example. In the beging if you were to set me down and say go to this web page and make a blog and thats all you said I would make it as far as the web page and thats it. I know what to do now but I am still computer iliterit. It also goes with anything that may need explain will need to be to me. I hate that about me, I learn quick if I was shown than to be handed and told. There is still more, like homework I do it last min. and hope that it comes out great. Which I know that you have to put time into stuff if you want it to come out good. Back to the whole computer thing and it just gets me discouraged when ever a teacher is like we are going to computer lab and i am like oh sh... .
The only thing that I have going for me when I mess up is I have no shame, its hard to make me bluish. I know my weaknesses and I am going to make changes to get those weaknesses to become strengths and be more of a complete student.

4) Something that i can do now that i couldn't do before, would have to be the computer stuff. We were able to access so much from the web libary, and that stuff to help site things in your paper and even find journal reviews. Basically it was all that pipline things, i just used it for email before now i use it for a varity of homework. I won't never spit in your face and tell you its raining so i am not going to lye. At first i thought this class was a waste of time. I thought it was one of those things you have to so i didn't put much in to it at first. I realized that there was more than meets the eye. I actually learned quit more than i antisipated. It has helped me manage my time by not looking for things and knowing where to go to find them. I would say that one of the most important thing that may benifit me would be that just cause you have to do it doesn't mean that you aren't going to get anything out of it. I always thought of myself open minded but i know now that it more than just that. Why do i feel opening your mind up is something significent because if you have a block up you could miss something that could have benifited you and you would never have got it cause you didn't let go, so to say. Plus it was a bonus to actually learn some things about and how to use somethings on the computer to help with a varity of things from blogs to papers and just general fun. So remember just cause you don't want to do it, do it, it may be benifical and you won't want to miss out.

5) The things that i found to be more useful was the computer stuff with libary database and the citation maker. That reader program i found to be very helpful. It trys to make you a more effencent reader able to comperhend what you read more easly. There was some stuff that you showed us that i thought could have been spent on more intersting things. The dying do drink was good to show us how to get to the video research but i feel that watching that video was not useful. I feel that everyone in college should know the consquences of drinking and what can happen when you are careless and take it to far. It was a tragic story of a young woman cut down in her prime from a few to many beers. I know what those parents went through i to have lost a child, but i could have done something eles on that. Thats about the only thing i see i would change. Spent a little more time on some computer stuff.




7) The one thing that i recoment that you do is be vocal. Speak up and speak your mind. Don't hold anything back. Ask question if you have any. I also would tell them that the teacher is the meanest and strickest i have ever had. You have so many essay to do and the class is only eight weeks so have plenty pen and paper ready.
