Lesson
What does the workplace and College have in common? No one knows what they need to know. Everyone is trying to learn either to stay with the crowd, to catch up to the crowd or to get ahead of the crowd. Despite what you may think no college will teach you everything you need to know in the workplace. A good college will teach you how to learn at a rapid pace. In college we call this skill studying.
Amazingly I have learned most students do not know how to study. I have learned this from the many of students who fail the first tests and later alert me to this fact. This is not good as you will not get a good grade and good grades are important to get good jobs.
Your first assignment is to watch the following video.
I want you to watch it 3 times because it generally takes a minimum of three times listening to a lecture to get everything from a lecture. After the first watching, make notes. On the second watch supplement your notes. The third watch fill in the blanks in your notes. Some of you may need a 4 or 5 th watching. That is ok.
Why are we doing this? To show you how much you miss by just watching or listening to a lecture one time. One thing good students do is compare notes with other students. You will be surprised by how much you miss.
My Personal Experience in Comparing Notes with Others
When Finished
When you get done with the watching you should
- Post your notes and a short reflection paper that includes not only what was said in the video but what did you learn and how you will use it in your classes. This must be a minimum of one page double spaced to get credit for this assignment.
- When this assignment is finished, go to the next assignment which is a multiple choice test over this video. That assignment will have a separate grade
I do hope that you will apply what you learn in all of your classes – it will make a difference.
