Psych Critical Thinking

When I took the quiz over module 1, I made a 100. Which surprised me greatly. I did not expect to make a good grade, because I know I didn't read as well as I should have. I knew most of the first questions, but had to make an educated guess on the last few.

When I read the chapter, I didn't take good notes or pay close attention like I should have. I get distracted very easily, so paying attention to the reading was difficult. The notes I took in class were good though, and that helped with the quiz where my skimming of the chapter did not.

I realize that if I plan to stay on top with my grades, I will have to discipline myself to read assigned chapters when they are assigned.

Some changes that I see that need to be made would be reading, as I've already mentioned. But, not just reading. I need to learn how to read on a deeper level, to get the full understanding of the chapter. My AP English class I took in high school helped me with reading for a meaning, I'll just have to dig up all that I've learned to use it again. I think I haven't really got back into the swing of things with just starting school back. I need to tighten up, and use my free time wisely, which I can honestly I haven't been doing.

In order to do my homework, assigned reading, etc.. I plan to make use of my free time better. I will plan out a schedule on my calendar, showing which class I will study for, during what hour. If I see that I may have trouble understanding the material, I will make a point to go visit the ARC.

I will also make use of my friends that I know have the same class that I do. We can form a study group, and we can keep each other up to date on when assignments are due or when a big test is coming up. My grades are important to me as well as my parents, especially when I need good grades to keep my scholarships. I will begin now to discipline myself to become more studious.
