This Monday we'll have our first of five minilectures:
"The Metabolism of Vampires" by Dr. Peggy Rice, who teaches a variety of courses in our department, mostly biochemistry. She will then stay for our panel discussion, topic:
"How to Study, How to Learn". At first glance, this might not seem like the most compelling topic but our panel guests are very captivating and should have a lot of interesting things to say.
This week's questions:
a) What do you believe are the biggest hurdles/obstacles/challenges to you doing as well as you'd like in a course (not just chemistry, but any subject)?
c) What is the best and worst food you've found so far on campus?
25 comments:
a) The biggest hurdle I will face is the one where if I don't really understand something I won't ask more than once. I have to work on trying something and if it doesn't work more than once keep trying and asking questions.
b) I am a Kinesthetic learner!!!
c) The best.... that is right umm nothing so far haha and the worst well as you can see from the best list the worst is a little bit longer.
a)The biggest hurdle to me is smart studying. I tend to get distracted when I'm trying to study, and I'll read a few pages and have no idea what I've just read, but won't have the patience to go back and really get it.
b)Your scores were:
* Visual: 6
* Aural: 8
* Read/Write: 4
* Kinesthetic: 6
c) The best food I've had so far are the smoothies from Lucy's, and the worst...VGs. Ew.
a) biggest hurdle for me is going to be getting myself to study more and when i dont know things i have a hard time asking people for help because i like to figure things out on my own.
B) i am a miltimodal learner with visual=6
aural=7
read/write=4
kinesthetic=8
c) idk nothing is too bad to eat but nothing is amazing. pizza is pretty good from backstage
a) The biggest hurdle I face is learning to adjust to my irregular schedule; I can't itinerate my day the way I could in high school.
b) I am a multimodal learner.
c) I think that so far all of the food's been pretty decent (at least that I've tried) and I have no complaints.
A) My biggest hurdle is sucking up my pride and admitting I don't understand something, then learning and studying it.
B) I am a Kinesthetic learner
C) My favorite things to eat here are the pasta at 19 Metro, and Sandwich factory. And my least favorite would have to be VG's. Although their burgers aren't bad..
My biggest hurdle is my LAZINESS. I will sit around all day instead of studying just because I don't feel like doing anything.
I didn't take the VARK questionare, but I believe I am an aural learner.
Best food is a custom made sandwich from the sandwich factory (I like the turkey and cheese), and the worst was a pasta I got from metro station... a waste of a meal.
a)The biggest hurdle for me is having to study so much.
b) i learn by hearing it from someone else then doing it.
c)the best is the places in the Avenue and the worst is some of the food at vgs.
1) Biggest Hurdle? Becoming over confident in what I am learning. Thinking I know I'll do all right on a quiz even if i should've put in the extra hours of studying to do REALLY well.
2) ??? where do I find that??
3) All the places on campus are pretty decent but my least favorite is Baja Sol.
It's not real mexican food!
a) The biggest hurdle for me is focusing. If I'm too distracted thinking about other things, then it's difficult for me to concentrate on the material I am supposed to be learning.
b) Visual: 3
Aural: 4
Read/Write: 2
Kinesthetic: 7
c) I haven't had anything really awful....but the best is probably metro... or vg's breakfast
a) I need to be more productive with my time and stop being so lazy.
b) I am definitely a visual learner.
c) I like the sandwich factory the most, and I haven't had anything too horrible, but I hear vg's is pretty bad.
a. one of the biggest struggles will be learning how to study and do homework with a block schedule. it seems like you have much more time to get things done because you dont always have class everyday but it seems like it just makes me procrastinate more.
b. * Visual: 9

* Read/Write: 10
* Kinesthetic: 13

a) my biggest hurdle admitting that i need help. I would so much prefer to just figure it out on my own.
b)Visual: 9
Aural: 10
Read/Write: 8
Kinesthetic: 12
c)the best i guess is the avenue, worst is probably vg's, though it's not horrible.
The hardest thing for me is asking for help. I hear going to office hours is a really good thing so I want to do that.

c) best: im thinking mandarin chicken salad from 19 metro :D
worst: i don't really like VGs breakfasts...
a) My hurdles to learning are that if i cant figure something out fairly easily then i get really frustrated and want to just give up. Also, I think I could ask for help from instructors more

c) GREEN STREET in the ave. Its the vegetarian place off to the side that nobody goes to... but its deeelllliiiiicious.
a) The biggest hurdle is being motvivated to study and trying to get the most out of reading the text instead of just skimming over it.
b)I have a multimodal(ARK) learning style
c)The best are the sandwiches from VGs and the worst was the Hot dogs from VGs
a) My biggest hurdle is just sitting down and doing the work. Once I get started it's no big deal I just have to force myself to get started.
b)My scores were:
* Visual: 1
* Aural: 3
* Read/Write: 8
* Kinesthetic: 4
c)So far the best food for the meal plan is 19 Metro and the best overall food is Backstage, and the worst food is VG's.

C>havent had any bad food. I ate from the salad bar recently which was good
a) What do you believe are the biggest hurdles/obstacles/challenges to you doing as well as you'd like in a course (not just chemistry, but any subject)?
The biggest hurdle is forcing myself to study and read. I hardly ever had to read in high school, and now I have tons of reading.
b) What kind of learner are you (according to the VARK questionnaire)?
Visual, definitely.
c) What is the best and worst food you've found so far on campus?
I guess backstage is the best. The worst is everything else.
a) the biggest hurdle is that I get distracted easily so I end up reading the same page over and over again for an hour
b)i'm an aural learner
c)i like the pasta here, but the avenue isn't all that great
I guess time. I have a large variety of interests and always seem to over commit in a lot of areas. I can never really say no, which leads to loss of sleep and stress.

I love the food here a lot haha.. I lovee metro salads and I truly can't think of something I didn't like.
a) The biggest hurdle for me was trying to learn how to take notes when in lecture and realizing what was important. It was also hard to understand what I'm reading because I always lose focus.
b) I am a multimodal learner.
c)The best food I found on campus was the sandwiches from the avenue and the worst food was the weird tasting chicken they serve.
