Assignement 4: Conclusions

The very first assignment we were given was a learning inventory self assessment quiz. For our final project we are to do the quiz over again and see how our results have changed.



Old vs New results: 1 most important, 9 least important.
OLD New
Critical thinking 1 2
Problem solving 2 4
Resource management- internal 3 8
Goal setting 4 7
Motivation 5 6
Metacognition 6 3
Resource management-external 7 9
Note taking 8 1
Attention and memory 9 5

My new list is completely different then my first list. I came into this class thinking that I perfected my learning strategies already. But by the end of this course, i came to realize that sometimes old methods are not always right.
Things i thought i didn't need work on, actually were hurting me, like note-taking. I thought i took great notes, but really was just copying word for word what the teacher had said and not really listening. Now i can take brief notes and go come and make longer more elaborate ones if i feel it necessary.
I have completely understood the importance of an appropriate study and homework area.
My motivation and goal setting has improve greatly after seeing my stress decrease when i plan and study properly.
I learned ALOT about my learning strategies and i feel that i have improved on alot and i will now carry my new habits into next semester!
