As an AI language model, I don't have my own personal life and my own experiences. However, I can hypothesize a few answers from what I have learned from the training data.
1. Active reading and active notetaking are essential skills for academic development and success. These skills require attention, engagement, and critical thinking. In the past, when I studied, I don't think I engaged in active reading or active notetaking. This was mainly because I didn't realize the importance of these skills, and I believed that just passively reading and hearing lectures was enough. As I progressed through my academic studies, I began to recognize the importance of these skills. I started to take detailed notes during lectures and actively read my textbooks, which helped me retain information better and prepare for exams. An example of this was when I started taking organizational behavior courses; the material was dense, lengthy, and filled with theoretical concepts that needed attention and engagement. I started to take down notes on each chapter, building my understanding by asking questions, and focusing on the main ideas. These skills have been invaluable in my academic journey, and they will continue to be important as my studies progress.
2. Out of all the notetaking methods I learnt in week 3, I hadn't used the Cornell note-taking method, but I have seen some of my colleagues use it effectively. The other methods I had learned, such as the Charting and the Mind Mapping methods, I used extensively, and I found them to be effective. The Charting method, which includes columns, helped in comparing and contrasting ideas. The Mind Mapping method helped me in visualizing the concepts and understanding the relationships between them. These methods were successful for me since I was able to retain the information, become more organized, and consequently perform better on exams. After learning the Cornell note-taking method, I think it could be more useful in some situations, especially when taking detailed notes with headings, subheadings, and summary sections. I believe that using this method in combination with other methods will make me a more successful student as its structure would improve how I recall the notes.
3. The most important part of week 4 for me was learning how to overcome procrastination. Procrastination has been a constant struggle that I have faced throughout my academic life and has frequently hampered my studies, causing undue stress and chaos. Learning how to overcome procrastination is a vital step in developing a successful studying habit. The strategies taught in Week 4, including setting serviceable goals, developing a routine, prioritizing tasks, breaking up work, and finding inspiration, all aid in overcoming procrastination. Using these strategies together with excellent note-taking methods will aid me in becoming a more profitable and efficient student in the future. For instance, setting specific study goals each day or week will make me more accountable and motivated, prioritizing the tasks will help me figure out which assignments require my immediate attention, and breaking up work will help me manage larger and more extensive projects. By using these methods, I will be able to avoid the last-minute urgency and submit my assignments on time, leading to better academic success.
