E portfoolio midterm 2
1. Welcome to your Portfolio Midterm!
There are three sections to your midterm. Please read instructions in each section and
follow the directions.
Section One:
By
(Tracie Navarro)
I intend to stay positive at all times. I will ask the right educated question and intake all
lectures. I will study at all times possible and focus on note taking. I will always keep my
goal in becoming an R.N as my first priority. I won’t let anything get in my way of
becoming who I want to be and I will graduate in two years.
2. Section Two: There are three Learning Style inventories in this section. Please
read the instructions and follow the directions for each:
One tool that students find most valuable is discussed in Chapter 1 and that is
DISCOVERING HOW YOU LEARN. This information will help you to take advantage of
your strengths and shore up your weaknesses in both school and daily living situations.
Knowing this information will help you choose activities that match your learning style. It
will also help you understand why you struggle with some activities, professors, and
courses and not others. You may also begin to understand why you get along, or work
better with some individuals than others (it may help explain why you might disagree
with those you are close to as well).

preferences. These preferences are about the ways that they want to take-in and give-

a. http://www.vark-learn.com/english/page.asp?p=helpsheets
Click on each of the Leaning styles and read the study strategies.
b. Use one or more of the Learning Styles study strategies that you feel
would be most helpful to you and write a paragraph about each of the
following:
1. taking in information;
2. using information for effective learning;
3. communicating more effectively;
4. performingwell in tests and examinations.
Write your Paragraph here:I use Visual strategies by changing my words into pictures.
It helps me with remembering definitions. I use pictures that relate to my own
experience and things around me. Aural being one of my highest scores is most
beneficial to me. I know attending all classes and getting involved with class discussion
help when its time to study. I always recap later on what; what said in class by myself
and others. With Read/write being my second highest, my note taking is pretty good.
Having my text book in front of me really helps with what I’m learning. I love looking at
the examples and answering questions in the book. By applying the strategies used
from the VARK I tend to stay more relaxed and focused.
4. Learning Style Assignment #2: Myers/Briggs
The purpose of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®) personality inventory is to
make the theory of psychological types described by C. G. Jung understandable and
useful in people’s lives. The essence of the theory is that much seemingly random
variation in the behavior is actually quite orderly and consistent, being due to basic
differences in the ways individuals prefer to use their perception and judgment.

7. The National Student Success Institute The National Student Success Institute
Section Three:Emotional Intelligence Activity: Tapping into Emotions
Directions: The following are examples adapted from Joshua Freedman's At the Heart
of Leadership: How to Get Results with Emotional Intelligence. He argues that we often
experience emotions in a pattern. For example, similar situations will trigger a type of
response. It will help us, he argues, if we learn to recognize the pattern and to dig
deeper to explore the reasons why we feel the way we do. Then, we should look for the
wisdom in the situation and response; in other words, we should look for a lesson to learn to
improve ourselves.
Using the following "typical" college student examples, reflect on your emotional
reaction to these types of situations and what you think the wisdom, or lesson, is in
each.
EMOTION: DISCOMFORT
TYPICAL SITUATION: You walk into a class for the first time and the professor
seems uninterested to teach or uninteresting in general. You suddenly get worried that
you will not enjoy this class—and you have to have it for your degree.
YOUR EXPERIENCE IN THIS SITUATION: I would sit and wait for the class to
end then go to my counselor at the end of class to see if I can be switched over to
a different professor
THE LESSON TO BE LEARNED: if I couldn’t change the class I would get the
most out of what the professor is teaching then go home and go over the
chapter that was discussed in class
EMOTION: ANXIETY/FEAR
TYPICAL SITUATION: You walk into class where the professor explains everything that
you are going to do this semester. He talks about a 15-page research paper, field studies,
and weekly journals. You don't even have access to a computer.
YOUR EXPERIENCE IN THIS SITUATION: take as much notes as I can and go to the
lab and use there computers
THE LESSON TO BE LEARNED: don’t break down until you try a solution. And if your
solution doesn’t work then ask for help from your professor.
8. EMOTION: EXCITEMENT
TYPICAL SITUATION: You find out that you won a scholarship that will pay for books,
tuition, and fees when you transfer to a four-year university next semester. You can't
wait to share the good news with your family because they were having a hard time
helping support you while you were in college.
YOUR EXPERIENCE IN THIS SITUATION: first thing after class I would call my
parents and share the good news.
THE LESSON TO BE LEARNED: sometimes things happen that can not be
explained good or bad take it day by day and always stay positive.
EMOTION: JOY
TYPICAL SITUATION: You have taken your last final exam and will be graduating next
week in front of your family, friends, and co-workers—and a few people who thought
you wouldn't make it. You have a job ready and waiting for you in your field of study.
While the pay may not be high, it offers great opportunities for advancement. Your two
children are proud to tell everyone that their mom has a college degree, and you know
that they will be more likely to attend college because you did.
YOUR EXPERIENCE IN THIS SITUATION: with hard work and dedication all
things are possible
THE LESSON TO BE LEARNED: believe in yourself and always stay positive. Work
hard as each day shall pass and come closer and closer to you succeeding
