1.Which ones of these methods are you already using? How do they work out for you? How's your experience compare with what Ruggiero (the author of the book) has to recommend?
PLAN MY DAYS
I am already using this method for the last 2 months, and they work fantastically on me. If I write down what should I do before I sleep, usually 2 to 3 things, than I can finish them faster the next day. I also find that when I use this method, I should not write too many things, such as 14, or even 24 things on each list I write.
And for "how's your experience compare with what Ruggiero has to recommend?", most of my experience is same as hers. Basically, I don't write what need not to be done, such as play games, but I DO write down dates and activities that I have to participate in. Second, I merely write down words that are simple enough to be a NOTE, if I don't do so, I'll loss my focus on important things.
VIEW FRUSTRATIONS AS OPPORTUNITIES
Strictly speaking, I didn't do this very well. When things goes wrong, frustrating is my first reaction, but soon, usually after one deep sleep, I could over come my frustration; feeling much better and having more energy to defeat that bad emotion.
TAKE CHAREGE OF YOUR MIND
Ordinarily, I can focus my attention on only one thing when I need to. But in one situation, I will wonder, that is, if I don't even clearly know or don't want to know what should I do, often when I face great pressure, I'll loss my control of my mind.
Maybe it's time for me to use methods to prevent and rescue myself from that situation, I noted that when I have a plan, I can concentrate on what I should do.
LISTEN ACTIVELY
For this, I want to talk in two ways. First, I definitely agree that we have to keep writing in order to focus our mind. And I do do that nowadays. However, I really, really HATE to write any thing when I focus on something, especially when I am watching movies, because that will lead me to out of focus and patience.
REFUSE TO TOLERATE CONFUSION
Sometimes I DO think I should raise my hand and ask for clarification. But because most of my classmates didn't do that, sometimes I think "If I raise my hand, the pace of the class will be interrupted by me...". Teacher really should let students feel free to ask their questions.(Because they are the person who are most likely to do this.)
STUDY EFFICIENTLY
I think in time, place, and conditions, the most important one is conditions. When I study, I don't listen to music, and I don't let my computer open, because I believe in learning, quiet beats noisy every time.
READ FOR UNDERSTANDING
After I read this, I change my ways to study, because these methods are really important for a effective learner. Especially point 1 and 2, SKIM the chapter or article, REFLECT on what you found by skimming. Because these methods can deepen and reinforce my memory..
Which ones looks interesting and promising enough that you are going to try out? What's your plan?
TACKLE UNPLEASANT TASKS IMMEDIATELY
This is what I need the most, I think. Maybe I can write down the most unpleasant tasks on my working list. (Mention above.)
CHIP AWAY AT BIG JOBS
I didn't do that before, but I think I'll try it someday. Because it can operate with other methods in coordination, such as point 1 or 2.
CAPTURE INSIGHT
I tried to use this method before, take a notebook in my pocket. But that's too inconvenience to be keep. So now I just take a pen with me, only when there is a paper will I write down a note.
MY QUESTION
I really think we should not write too much when we watch Friends or Movies, if our purpose is to prevent forgetting things, maybe we should study this movie first, and then we watch it without too many writing, but with what we study before. That's my opinion, is there anything I can improve? Please reply, teacher.

A.Which ones of these methods are you already using? How do they work out for you? How's your experience compare with what Ruggiero (the author of the book) has to recommend? 1. Plan my days: Same as the author, it allows me to make the most of my time. But it is not that easy to finish all the tasks listed in the plan. 2. Listen carefully: Taking notes is necessary in classes, and I am still learning to identify the most important words and sentense and record just those. 3.

B.Which ones looks interesting and promising enough that you are going to try out? What's your plan? 1. Capyure insight: It's really a nice suggest to record interesting ideas to me, so that I won't forget. 2. View frustration as opportunities: Well goes the prverb "Failure is the mother of success." It is necessary for me to learn to take defeat well, instead of giving up easily. 3. Tackle unpleasant tasks immediately: This is really a difficult task to me, but sounds so useful. 4. Refuse to tolerate confusion: I often tolerate confusion, and it is really a big obstakle to my study. In my opinion, asking questions may be a good way to learn this skill.

A. Which ones of these methods are you already using? How do they work out for you? How's your experience compare with what Ruggiero (the author of the book) has to recommend?
1.Plan my days:
I plan my days every morning. And it's really helpful for me when I have too many things to do in one day. However, sometimes I forget to make a plan. Then things go wrong.
The method I use to plan my days are a little different from the author's. Every day, I bring a sheet of paper with me. The content of the sheet of paper includs the things I need to do today and something which happen today and I sould do it in the future. So, every mornig, I have to do two thing. First, I put the things I shoud to do in the future on yesterday sheet of paper in the right date in my schedule book. Then, look up the schedule book to see what I sould do today. With the method, I can not only be more efficient but also be clearer about what I shoud do today.
2.Read for understanding:
Actually, I 've already known the strategy from a book. However, read for understanding confuses me sometimes. When I try to catch the important meaning, I lose some details. Often, I miss too many details. So, I think I shoud make a balance between grasping main idea and understanding the whole thing.
B. Which ones looks interesting and promising enough that you are going to try out? What's your plan?
1.Tackle unpleasant tasks immediately:
I tend to procrastinate when a task is unpleasant. I hope I will put unpleasant tasks high on my list of priorities next time so I won't do it hastily again.
2.Refuse to tolerate confusion:
In the strategy, it said, " if you encounter a confusing passage, don't just hope that passing of time will clarify its meaning. Instead, reread the passage ALOUD and slowly, listening to the words. " This stratage reall interests me. My brain always goes blank when I ' m confused about the passage. And I always do nothing except letting the time passing. The way suggests me that I shoud be more active and read aloud. I will try..
C.Questions about these methods?
1. I know that choosing a suitable place is important, but I found it hard to find a suitable place to study. Is my mind too easily-disrupted? What sould I do?
2. When I try some stratagies like Read for understanding or Keep a journal, I always spend too much time. How can I manage my time better?

- The methods I am already using now are "Capture Insights" and "Chip away at big job". I write down my insights as the ingredients for Chinese writing. It works for me because the supporting ideas are handy for me to use in the article and I can feel less panic to finish a complete article in such a short time. Also, I find out that those detail things I have written down are usually the most unforgettable in my mind.
- Since I realize there is no time for me to sit down and finish a work at the same time, I try to separate them in different parts. First, I will find out what kind of work can be stuck into the scrappy periods of time and can be interrupted as I wish. For example, I read my English novel once I have free time, and I review the vocabulary when I am tired of reading.
- I am going to try "Tackle my tasks immediately". I always expect myself to hand in the homework in time or to finish work leisurely. However, every time I pull over the task to the next day, the next day…, and here comes the dead line!!! People can always fin a good excuse for themselves when they feel lazy. Therefore, it is the best way to face the hard task at once.
- I will list out every task I have to do and compared their dead lines and work schedule. Then try to start with the most unpleasant or the hardest one. Once I finished a period in expectation, I will do one thing relatively easy to relax. To know the source of stress and conquer it is the only way to get rid of stress.
- 3. About "Take charge of your mind", is there any specific way to control our mind?

1.Plan my days: Actually, I alway plan my days in mind instead of in words. I think it will be better if I plan on papers, less I forget anything.
2.View frustrations as apportunities: I believe that frustrations enhance our abilities to solve problems and provide chances to think in another way.
3.Listen actively: It is true that I always feel sleepy in class if I am not taking notes simultaneously. But, I don't always achieve this point, honestly.
4.Refuse to tolerate confusion: I really don't like to save confusions for later to solve, neither would I tolerate confusions. But I faced some difficulties when putting it into practice. That is, it is hard to make a specific question or a concrete idea right after receiving information.
5.Choose athe right time, a suitable place and favorable conditions: I know for long that queit beats noisy, but not every time for me. I sometimes fell asleep if the place was too queit (such as library). How can I solve situation like this?
B.Which ones looks interesting and promising enough that you are going to try out? What's your plan?
1.Tackle unpleasant tasks immediately: Weren't it for my laziness and reluctance I wouldn't have to stay up all night just to rush through reports, right?
2.Clip away at big jobs: A big job is somehow equal to an unpleasant task! Besides dealing with it first, achieve it little by little every day sounds like a good way.
3.Take charge of my mind: The huge problem of my learning efficiency is all about concentration! I need to work hard on this one indeed.
4.Capture insights: Have countless of thoughts but never capture then when they come to mind. Then those original innovative ideas would be worthless, I guess. So the next time it pops out, dash it down!
C.We may all know methods like these already. So, I think the major big thing would be about persistence and constantcy. Did the author mention anthing about this in the book? Or do you, dear professor, have some suggestion?

Among these methods, only two of them I am already using. One is "Plan my days"and the other is "Choose the right time". Because I have a week plan book, I will set goals that I should do the next day or the next week. By planning my schedule in the week plan book, I can remember that which one should I do now. I usually study before 11 o'clock at night, because I think I can't absorb what I read when I am very sleepy, and if I can't finish study before 11 o'clock, I will get up early the next morning.
2.
Methods I am interested in are "Read for understanding" and "Keep a journal". When Iam reading, I never skim the chapter and I usually underline the word I don't know right away. In this article, it tells me that pay attentionto the headings, the first two paragraphs, and the last paragraph. And it also tells me that underline or highlight words after read the chapter. I think next time when I read, I can try this method to see if it does more effective for me to understand what articles talk about and what the central idea is. I only keep English general journal now, after I read this article, I think I can apply keeping a journal to every subjects after school.
3.
(1) Is there any methods to remember us what we are doing from moment to moment to avoiding losting our concentration?
(2) I think I gradually make taking notes as a habit、but I usually can't write my notes fast enough, give me some advice、please?

Among these advisable methods , I think that I always use two of them . The first is ''Plan your days '' . In such a busy life , it is impossible to remember everything that happens in a day , let alone a long period of time without record , therefore , I will plan what I should finish on a weekly basis . In fact , there are many items that I didn't finish . I always try my best to make more appropriate plans . "Read for understanding" is another thing I think I am always using . In senior high school , we students were forced to read each article in a short time . We formed the habit of reading as fast as we can , but I consider it too rough . The author recommend that we follow the steps "skim" , "reflect" , "read" , and "review" . I will use those tips in my reading next time .
Besides , "Take charge of your mind" and "Refuse to tolerate confusion" are two recommendation interest me most . First , if I can take charge of my mind , I can concentrate more on many trifle thing , either in school work or daily life . This must begin with my self-descipline . Maybe I will practice paying attention for a short time in beginning , and then lengthen the time gradually . Next , I hope that I can refuse to tolerate confusion . We all know that knowledge is composed of learning and questioning , so learning to ask question is an indispensable part in our study . Next time when I encounter problems , I hope that I can muster up my courage to ask for help .
About "Study efficiently" , the author says that we should choose the right time to study , while everyday 's schedule is different , and there is no knowing when my best reading time is . Speaking of choose the right time , I seemed to read whenever I was free . Is there any suggestion about this problem ?

After reading this article, I was surprise that there are many tips in learning. I thought deeply about my learning habit. I was shock that I had used some wrong ways in learning. I try to correct and now I have used some methods.
First, I make a list in my notebook to remind me what I should every day. Second, I chip away bog job into several parts to ease my pressure. I was glad that I got this strategy because I always hoped to finish my work as quickly as possible in the past. For example, in the weekend, I arranged all my work in Saturday and got whole free Sunday. But, it is not efficient way in learning. And it also makes me feel pressure. Now, I try to get up early in weekend. I writing down my learning schedule and I still leave some free time for myself to take break. By chipping away big job, I feel more relax and enjoy reading more.
Some methods I still don't use. I always read an article only one time. I just guess the meaning when I encounter puzzles in the article. According this introduction, maybe I should change my way in reading. First step of my plan, I skim the article and focus on headline. Then read carefully and circle what I don't understand. I will still guess the meaning. But once I can't understand definitely, I will look up dictionary or ask other until absolutely realize. Finally, I will try to keep a journal to record my mistake and see that I am improved or not .This plan is a little hard for me to reach. I will try my best in the future.
I have one question of the introduction. Read twice or more than two times can make me realize more. But if I don't have enough time as during the exam, is there another way in reading?

[Jet] 49777011 黃韻如 "Study efficiently" is one of the methods I already using. I always get up early instead of stay up late to study because I think it's very inefficient to do things when sleepy. I would clean up my desk and make sure that the light is sufficient before studying, it can makes me more concentrated on the books I'm going to read. Although a quiet place is also good for us when studying, I think if we really immerse ourselves fully, we may not notice the noise around us. "Plan your days is another method I already using. I would make a list of things to do and plan what to do everyday. But I think I have a lot to improve since I sometimes fail to be on track, and I'm trying to find out the reason. Maybe the axiom told in this book: combine tasks whenever possible is the way I can try to improve. "Tackle unpleasant tasks immediately" is the one I would like to try must. Since I'm exactly the one tends to procrastinate unpleasant tasks and always choose the easier ones to do first. It's really makes me feel bad when knowing that a unpleasant task is waiting for me. So I think this method will benefit me a lot and I'm going to try it out. "Keep a journal" is also the method I am going to try out. I have just heard of this on a speech and learned the importance of keeping a journal. With the journal, we will remember what we have learned, we will know what we have studied everyday. It's good for our study, too. I have understood the importance og asking questions. But sometimes I have confusions in class and don't know how to ask to solve it. What should I do when facing this situation and is there some ways to raise good questions? |

1. Among those methods, I had tried is "plan your days" and "study efficiently". I always plan my days in a small notebook. I write down when should I study and what should I do. But every time I saw my notebook, I felt guilty because I seldom follow it. I know I can't get up early to study, so I always do the study work afternoon. I also know I'm easy to be distracted by other things, so I always found a library to study. A quiet place makes me more concentrated on my study.
2. I think the first I will tried in those methods is "keep a journal". Therefore I can not only know what I had done every day but also to check if I had followed my plan. The other is "take charge of your mind". I think I should concentrate on my study and make it more effect.
3. My question about this article. I know taking notes is a good way to keep concentrate. Except that, is there other way to keep concentrate?

I`ve been searching for the answer of this question ── how to be a critical thinker and a good learner. I guess that there`s no specific answers but many useful methods that should be tried. Reading this article, I found that there are some strategies I`ve never thought of before, and I should try them. I consider planning my days as an important way to manage my life. I always have a note book with me so that I can know what tasks I should finish today. After I complete the work, I eliminate it on my list. It`s really a great method that I think everybody should try. I am fond of the strategy of viewing frustrations as opportunities , because I am of the opinion that frustrations can be turning points that may lead to success. When I feel frustrated, I admit that the thought of running away have come to my mind, but I seldom give up, because I view it a chance to improve myself. Instead of neglecting it, keeping working on the task with efforts can lead to different and better result. Keeping a journal is the method that I`m doing now. It`s important to me to record information I receive. I`ll make it a habit in my daily life so that I can get important information immediately when it is need. Capturing insights is interesting to me. I`ve tried this strategy, but I usually failed to seize my ideas in time and the ideas just faded away. I want to try it again to record all the ideas that come to my mind. I used to postpone unpleasant tasks, though I knew that it`s not a good habit. I would try this strategy for it seems challenging. My question towards the article is that, in "Plan your days", there are three axioms of efficiency, what does "Simplify what must be done" mean?
In "Reading for understanding", there are four key words in the paragraph ── skim, reflect, read, review. Usually I read the chapter without skimming it, and I underline the sentences that I consider to be important during my first-time reading, and during my second-time reading (review), I will mark what I think to be key words. I think that my method is much easier for me to catch important information and that the method in the paragraph may not be suitable for me because I am of the opinion that it may take much time than my own method. Another question is that, is my thought correct or is there anything I should change in my habit?

1. I have already used the methods such as " Plan your days" and "Chip away at big jobs". I think I don't use the "Plan your days" method well because I usually make a plan but don't accomplish it properly. As the article has mentioned, I didn't eliminate what need not be done, simplify what must be done and combine tasks whenever possible. Maybe those are the reasons why I usually can't keep my plan on track. In addition, I think I use "Chip away at big jobs" method well sometimes. If I use this method, I can be calm and confident when the due dates arrive just as the author said.
2. I think the methods such as "Take charge of your mind" , "Read for understanding" and "View frustrations as opportunities" are interesting and promising enough that I am going to try out. The plan for "Take charge of your mind" is I will leave the distracting circumstances and try hard to be full attention on my work. Although it is not easy to do this, but "Experience dose make it easier", however. The plan for "Read for understanding" is I will try to follow the steps when I start another reading and try to make it a habit. I know I won't use it well unless I really use it often. And the plan for "View frustrations as opportunities" is I will try not just to be frustrated and angry when I confront the difficulties. I will fix my mind to be more positive and try my best to think some ideas to solve this situation.
3. I have some questions about the "Keep a journal" method. The professor may have said so many things that are equally important, how can I choose the most important lesson I just learned? How can I know what is the most important lesson? In addition, can I still keep a journal when I am not understand what the lesson is talking about?

1. "Study Efficiently" is the most important part during my whole school life. I'm a terribly picky guy, I won't be able to do anything if there's any thing ain't right. After a decade researching, I finally find my own way to let this ugly guy, me, study. First, my ability of temptation résistance is extremely awful, the condition becomes better resulting in the increasing age, but I still prefer doing my studying with no TV, computer, novel, and bed, the most dangerous thing in the weather like now. Second, studying place must be silence, not extremely but relatively, I can't sit with any noise, but music is ok, I brought my ipod with my every day, every time. Third, I better had a better dream last night, or I rather go back to bed to make a new one. I also used "Take charge of my mind", "Chip away at big jobs" , and "Tackle unpleasant tasks immediately" for details.
Here's my studying method right now: 1. Do not do it at home. I can cut off telephone, internet, TV cable and pack all my books into boxes, and I did it before, but I cannot throw my bed away, I can sleep all day long at home before the mid-tern examination and I haven't even opened my books. 2. Do it as many as possible in the class, keep mind clear, and force to write down everything teacher said when I feel sleepy. 3. Do it every day, make studying a habit, as natural as I brush my teeth before sleeping. 4. Do big part first, separate it to parts, make deadlines for each part.
2. I'm interesting in "Capture insights", I've tried several times before, but never success. I can feel speed of thinking fasten when I get insight, and my writhing, if I was luckily with paper and pen, couldn't even follow it. The fact is I usually can't figure out the thought I just had. I'm quite curios of the statement, I'll try once again. I plan to put a small notebook and a carry pen in my pocket, and again write down the detail of the idea at "the insight time" hoping that I'll be able to understand later.
3. I'm not sure about the effect of "Keep a journal". I think notes of class in quite enough, I take note of every class at every thing which I think it might be helpful or important, I also remixed with my own words, but just write down a copy. I don't think it helps to write a journal in addition.

After reading the article, I really benefit from it. I learn a lot and I have already do done some of the learning strategies, such as plan my days, tackle unpleasant tasks immediately, listen actively and capture insights. It seems that I do a lot of them and I might learn effectively. Actually, I'm not, because I didn't do it well. I should take more effort on it, but how can I improve it? How can I do it much better?
Here are some my experiences about using the strategies. After I entered to college, planning our days become very important. We have so many things to do. We have to study, join clubs and a lot of extracurricular activities. To use time well, we need to plan our days. Fortunately, I have cultivated a habit for planning my days since I was in senior high. I still have problems. I sometimes overlook my abilities. I always make a perfect schedule. In fact, seldom do I achieve my plans because the lack of motivation, execution and perseverance. I think I can improve more on these aspects.
Sometimes I use the method of tackle unpleasant tasks immediately. Especially on my eating habit, I always eat the things that I don't like at first and enjoy my meal after I eat them. When I was in junior high, I always elude the unpleasant tasks. Now, I change my mind, I tell myself, "No matter what, you still have to do it. Do it now, don't leave things until the last minutes."
On page 20, line 3, the author thinks that a car is a suitable place, but I don't think it is a good idea. If I don't turn on the air-con, it may be too stuffy. If I turn on the air-con, it may emit exhaust gas into the air, which causes air pollutions. Also, it doesn't have enough light in a car. As a curious person, I like to observe other people and see what they're doing. It distracts my concentration.
After reading the paragraph of refuse to tolerate confusion, I would like to try this strategy. When I encounter a confusing passage in my textbook, I usually take note on my book, thinking about I will ask my teacher next time or I can ask my classmates tomorrow. But I often fail to do it. This time, I make up my mind, I will raise questions bravely.
About reading for understanding, I think those steps will take me much time to do it. I wonder if I can skip some steps when I only have a little time to read an article. If the answer is "yes." Which steps can I skip? In step one, the author said, "Skim." Skim? What does "skim" mean? I can skim when I read in Chinese and I can understand 50 percent of the passage. When read in English, just as I read literary language in ancient China, I need to read one word by one word so that I can understand. Is it because I have some problem in learning English? What kind of problem do I have? And how can I correct it? In step two find the author's main purpose. To me, it is hard to find the main idea. I often think different with others. Am I wrong? Is it because of my poor comprehension ability? Is there any method to overcome this situation?

Learning is the continuous staff that begins since we were born. We learn in order to gain more ability to accommodate to the society and to have connection to every person in globe. Therefore, it's important to find better ways to achieve better learning, and the article, Introduction: Strategies for effective learning, provides several good methods that we can apply with in our learning.
Among these ways, some of them I have already used it in my everyday-learning process. For instance, I usually tackle unpleasant takes immediately. When preparing a plan of "to learn list", I usually put difficult staff as priorities. Burden will be smaller if the harder thing is done as sooner as possible. Therefore, I can have a better mood to deal with other staff if the harder work is done. In addition, I have chipping away big jobs. Because some projects are big and cannot deal with them within one specific time period, I usually break it in to fragments. I think it is really helpful for me. That is, I seldom drive mad when the work comes to the deadline while I usually finish them step by step and day by day.
And there are several ways that I have not done and willing to try in my future learning. One of them is I will try to listen actively. For now, when some topics do or donnot attract me, I usually just lay my back on the chair and "only listen." That usually depreciates what I have to learn. In other words, I cannot get the whole that the instructors want to express to. Therefore, I think I can learn more by being an active listener through taking notes. By doing so, I won't forget what the instructor has told and gains all views for the lecture.
However, there are some problems that I still have after reading this article. I am sometimes confused of how to keep a good journal. For example, sometime I might omit or misunderstand the important things that the instructor says. By reading the journal afterwards, sometimes I don't even know what I am writing about. I am curious about how to solve this problem.
HW2林琦鎮
49777010 FLAG 林琦鎮 In these twelve methods, I have been using four of them. "Plan my days" was the first method I learned to making one day arranged well. It helped me a lot when I was confused about what I should do everyday. It made my day plan simple and easy to carry out. "Chip away at big jobs" was definitely useful in dealing with big tasks. The benefits from using the method were most apparent when coping with reports. It cut the complicated course into pieces, and by doing the reports little by little, it may be done with less efforts, and less pressure on time. "Read for understanding" was the method that I used to read "Advanced". It's really helpful especially when I was confused about the meanings in one paragraph. I read it more times, and with the passage of time and meditation, I usually could get it. "Keep a journal" is what we were asked to do twice a week. It also included the notes and what we learned in the class. I have done it since this month. Though, not knowing it may be helpful to my study or not, I think at least I can leave both some memories in the books I read and knowledge I got in class. As far as I know, the methods arranged in the paper were nice. In my daily lives, these often appeared as liberators since they may solve many problems. I agreed with most parts of what the author recommended. "Capture insights" and "Study efficiently" are the ones I would like to try most. The former could help me to record some vital things or great ideas occur to me temporary. The latter would help me efficiently organize me day and give me sense of achievement. I will always take a little notebook with me to record daily unexpected ideas or important appointments and study at night to midnight, my most energetic time. Is "Listen actively" really practicable? I've tried many times since I was in senior high school. It often doesn't work too much since I sometimes fall asleep or feel boring about it. Is there any way to focus on the lecturer and make myself find interest in it? Moreover, "Turn these strategies into habits" do need lots of time. Are there any shortcuts to achieve the goal? |

1. I think I am already using the method, refuse to tolerate confusion. I am always a curious person. I like to ask why about many things. If I get confused about the things I study, I don't ignore them. Instead, I mark it and find the opportunities to solve them by researching on the internet or asking other people. It is better to solve them immediately. Although I have to spend much more time learning, it's really worth it. It is an efficient way of studying. 2. I think I am going to try the method, tackle unpleasant tasks immediately. I hate the big pressure comes to me when there will be an exam next day, and I must stay up late to prepare for it. It's a hard time to go through, and I feel exhausted after accomplishing it. To improve the situation, I think I'll just do as the author recommend. Put unpleasant tasks high on my list of priorities. The earlier I do, the more I feel relieved. 3. I find it hard to take charge of my mind, because as I think the book or the class is boring, I can't help but feeling distracted. How can I control my mind entirely in a specific way? |

1. The method I am already using is Listen actively. When I am in class, I always take notes.I can't remember everthing teachers said in class, so the method helps me to learn more effectively. 2. The method I really want to try is Chip away at big jobs.I always finish my homework the day before due day, and I am very busy and nervous that day.Therefore, I think I should turn this method into a habit. 3. Insights are relatively rare and they arrived unexpectedly, so how can we know when do they came? 49777009 呂佩穎 Pony |

1. The method of "Plan Your Days" I've already used since I was in high school. Though I work out this method a little bit different from the way author recommanded. Everyday after I get up, I use a little time to think about what I'm gonna do today while brushing my teeth, washing my face, etc. Sometimes I would write down on a piece of paper if the undone tasks are too much. That's really helpful to me, I think. However, sometimes my plan seems to be too flexing. So, I would try the author's way-to spend few minutes making list of things to do and figure out what are the priorities.
2. "Capture Insights" is the part I interested in most. I think that I am a creative person. And when I chat with my friends, I usually come up with many new ideas or concepts. However, I am not in the habit of carrying a brochure or paper handy with me. And I don't think that my thoughts are important because some of them are too imaginative to work out. But after read this article, I realize that my crazy ideas might turn into something useful if it does proper revise. So, from now on, I will carry a little brochure whenever I go, and try to write down everything pop in my mind.
3. In the part "Refuse to Tolerate Confusion" it says that we should raise our hands and ask teacher for a clarification. I have a question about that. Because once I met some teachers who doesn't want anyone to interrupt during his or her teaching. And when I ask too many questions, he or she will be angry easily, though I ask after class. That really scared me. So, what am I supposed to do with that situation? Or how can choose I the right questions to ask?
