This week’s discussion topic is not about course content. With Test 1 behind us, it is time to pause and reflect on how you are completing your readings and assignments for each week, and whether you believe your study habits and study strategy is working. Some of the things I would like you to address are:

How do you keep track of what needs to be done during the week?
How do you schedule time into your weekly calendar for all readings and assignments for this course?
How do you read the chapter – from beginning to end in one sitting, or section by section? Do you take a look at the end-of-chapter questions and problems to see how many you can answer?
Are you using the resources (videos, audio lectures etc) provided on Blackboard? Which ones do you find most helpful and why?
When and how do you do homework? Do you do homework after you have read the chapter, to assess your understanding (which you should)? Or, do you use homework to learn (which I do not advocate)?
Do you find yourself using a lot of the learning aids, eg. show me how, show me an example, etc, when you do homework?
This is only an indicative list. Please add anything else from your learning experience thus far that you think is working for you. Share what is not.

For your response post, read how others are studying. Respond to at least two classmates’ posts with your comment on their study strategy versus yours. Perhaps you want to adopt / adapt some of their strategies? Perhaps you want to underscore the strengths of your study strategy? Whatever it may be, engage in a discussion about study habits and study strategies.
