Among these strategies, I noticed some that I have used in the pass with great success, and some that I have either not heard of, or ones that I wouldn&#8217;t consider to be a strong suit of mine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Among those that I think myself to be best at are knowing when to study, getting the main idea when reading, and taking notes. I usually study at in blocks well ahead of a test or project due date. I usually am able to extract the main concept when reading textbooks or other assigned readings. I habitually take notes during lecture; I tend to follow the slides and add anything not explicitly stated in the slides or reading into my notes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Some areas in which I need improvement are making every hour count, revising my schedule, and where I study. I have a bad habit of taking too long on certain areas fo study and too little on others. I also get stuck on certain schedules even if they don&#8217;t work that well. I also study in my bedroom where my computer is, a place which often leaves me distracted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Preview Time Management Skills<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Below is my activity log for January 19th, 2020, from the time I woke up to the time of writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1263\" height=\"443\" src=\"http:\/\/jonathanlimpus.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Screenshot-from-2021-01-19-20-12-02.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-55\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3>Project Management Basics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">A project is an undertaking in which one or more individuals to accomplish a set goal within a fixed amount of time. Project management is a process of in which one person coordinates a group of people in order to finish a project. The project manager takes on the responsibility of finishing the project and supervises it from all levels, from begin to end. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Previous Capstones<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">All of the capstones presented were very intresting. Watching these now was somewhat overwhelming, considering the gap in knowledge between what I know now, and what I will hopefully know in almost two years when it is time for my capstone. Some of the ones that really stuck out to me were as follows: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Mirrored Fantasy <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">This project was the first one to really catch my attention. I have a special love for video games, and the idea that someone was able to make their own engine and game for their capstone was really cool for me. I thought Andrew did an excellent job with this project and I would love to see the further development he had mentioned in his presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>PetRecs <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">This project was presented very well. The site looks very professional and modern, as well as appearing to be very purpose-driven while &#8216;trimming the fat&#8217;, so to speak, which I always appreciate as a user. The presentation itself was also very clear and well spoken. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>STEMRanks<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">This project immediately caught my attention because I had a similar idea for a &#8220;RateMyProfessor for degree programs&#8221; site previously when searching for a bachelor&#8217;s program. It seems like Roger targeted an issue that with a clear niche to fill. The interface seems very clear and usable, and doing exactly what it needs to do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Week Summary<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">This week, I learned a lot about project management. It seemed like a term that I had heard used in a lot of marketing materials without ever having been given a decent definition. I learned the importance of having a clear vision of your project before undergoing the work, and being able to create a schedule to accomplish your tasks in a realistic time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">From the Writing Lab, I learned a lot about writing in the APA format. I also saw the value of peer reviews from reading my teammate&#8217;s feedback on my writing!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Review and Reflect Learning Strategy In the article &#8220;Effective Study Skills&#8221;, Dr. Bob Kizlik discusses various study strategies for students.
