Reflection On Study Skills

1531 Words7 Pages

Study Skills Reflection Report
Before taking this course, I did not have any form of study skills besides taking notes during class and reviewing them before tests. The purpose of this project was to analyze how the use of study skills can help us to effectively study and keep us on pace in our courses. We reflected our own study skills to the study skills that we read about in the book. After learning about the many study skills that the book had to offer, we then chose five that we felt could help us succeed in our courses. Before beginning this project, I did not read my textbooks or any assigned material and had a challenging time focusing on anything that I found disinteresting. I also did not believe in any type of scheduling and had little confidence in my ability to learn from my classes. When I started this project, I had hoped that these skills that I chose could help me to effectively study and learn new material in each course as well as stick to a schedule. I did not believe that my results were going to be much to write home about.
The first study skill that I chose is “do a quick read,” located on page 271 of the On Course Study Skills Plus textbook (Downing). This skill allows you to quickly skim through the reading material as fast as you can. Its purpose is to help you build a familiar foundation for when you reread the material in depth. When using this skill, I found it was effective when learning about bigger concepts within the material however not as

    I believe that the survey presented in the Unit 2 reading assignment revealed several blind spots concerning my individual academic skills. I was startled to discover some of my individual weaknesses revealed in the survey. The survey was insightful and enlightening, as I realized that I have previously ignored some critical areas addressed. I realize that focusing on my weaknesses can compound the difficulty of achieving academic success (Bethel University, 2014). Developing my weaknesses and converting them to strengths will significantly improve the likelihood of my academic and professional success.

  • Reflective Practice Essay

    874 Words  | 4 Pages

    The Latin root of the word ‘Reflection’ refers to the ‘moving back’ or getting or bending back” to something. This bending back is of significant importance in any profession, any task and any practice as suggested by Horwood (1989). Put in very simple words, every time we do something and later stop to think or ponder over what we did, how we did and why we did, consequently also thinking on what were the effects of such doing and if or how it could have been done better, then we are actually engaging ourselves in the process of reflection. Making this a part of our profession so as to bring constant improvement in the quality of our own performance is what we can say is bringing reflection to our practice; hence the term ‘Reflective Practice’ is used.
