class wiki

So this is my final blog for this class cant believe it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! time went by so fast. The class wiki was user friendly so I didn't have any issues with it. The wiki was well organize and the assignments were always straight forward so thumbs up to Professor Hamon. Using the wiki to do assignments was good, the videos could be replay more than once.  Even after the assignments were submitted you can always go back to the wiki and take notes if necessary. The assignment is available for every and it can be done at one's own convenient. Using a class wiki is a very good tool and I think that all professors should use it.

Blogging in class

Blogging in class is very fun, I look forward to it every class. I didn't like blogging at first, but now I get use to it. I have to get in the habit of reading other clasmates blog and making comments in order to get a grade for the week. It nice to share information with classmates and getting a feedback. Sometimes I wish I could blog everyday but I haven't gotten the chance to because  of my work schedule and school. I can only do 3-4 a week. I will try to continue blogging after I complete this class within my spare time. Our class is coming to an end so we can blog whenever we want. This our final week for writing blogs to get a grade!!!! I am surprise this will be my 24th Blog post!!!!

Using Google + in class

Using Google + in class has been a great experience. I have learnt a lot of  things about Google that I didn't know. I also had the chance to do class work using the different tools on Google. We did group activities including power point, it had a lot of features to it, that I find interesting. I also get the chance to like and comment on my friends profile when they make a post. I ended up using some of the tchniques that I have learnt about Google in another class and the outcome was great. 

Listening and Hearing

Do you think there is a difference between listening and hearing? If you said yes then you are correct. Listening is something you consciously choose to do. It requires concentration so that your brain processes meaning from words and sentences. Listening leads to learning. However on the other hand hearing is simply the act of perceiving sound by the ear. If you are hearing- impaired, hearing simply happens. I have learnt in my Strategies to Success class a symbol that the Chinese people use  for listening. According to them in order to listen effectively you must give your undivided attention, listen with your eyes, ears, heart. This means that you cannot be doing something else while listening you have to be focus and still.

How to be Independent

To be independent is a skill for people who want to take control of there lives and feel like they don't need others to accomplish their goals. I am this kind of person I like my own freedom and I also like to do things without caring what others might think. Most times you will be happy because you do what is best for you. These are some steps that can help you to become independent if you are not. First you have to accept your self, second you must believe in yourself and third you must accept the
world, fourth be your own hero, be self motivated and don't settle for anything less than you are worth, for comfort, for case or to be nice.

Best thing I have learnt in class

The best thing that I have learnt in class in APA format. Even though I am not 100% good at it, but I have learnt a lot about it. It can be frustrating at first, but after getting a hang of it, it will be a little easier. When I first did my paper and Professor Hamon started commenting all I saw was "APA issues." I was so irritated , in the next class period he sat with me and we went through Doc 2. He showed me the mistakes that I have made and how to correct them. Some of them were simple and easy to fix however the hardest part for me was the References. I have learned lot and I know I will have to do this format again for many other classes so I will have a head start and I can always relate to my examples . Here at South all the teachers ask for APA format so learning it now is very good and I might be able to help others to format there documents correctly.

Tutoring

Tutoring can help college students succeed. Some of the most successful students may be those who have mastered three important skills. The three skills are to understand college level work, learn skills of good time management and those who seek the support or help that they may need early in the game. Students who work at making an out-of-class connection with  their professor is sometimes the the stronger students in the class and that is very important. Here at South tutor is free so student should make the best of it. I personally can't make it to tutor as I would like to because of my job schedule but for the few times that  went to tutor for maths my grade on a test went up from a 'D' to 'A' . I suggest that everyone should  go to tutor, you will definitely see changes in your grades. You will get help one-on-one and the professor will be able to work problems are questions with you so that you can get a better understanding.
