2. Favorite Week
I think my favorite week of the course would have to be week 4. The discussion where I
learned that learning styles are not real was interesting. It explained why I believed I learned
different subjects better than others when applying my “learning style”. The video reflection
also interested me because it clarified why some of my study practices helped me better
understand the information I tried to process, and helped highlight what I still need to work on.
3. Favorite Exercise
If I had to choose a favorite exercise, it would be the Motivation and Language of
Responsibility. I’d have to say it was my favorite because it helped improve my point of view on
things. Rather than viewing a lot of things I have to do throughout my day as “necessary evils”,
this exercise helped me see that they’re things I’m fortunate enough to do.
4. Most Interesting Topic
I think the topic I would be leaving wanting to know more would be the practice of studying. I’ve
always wanted to know more about what created better study habits, especially for retention
and retrieval of information. I got to learn a bit more about how to better do that, but I’d like to
learn even more about that topic.
5. Few Lessons I’ve Learned
One of the lessons I’ve learned in this course that I will definitely be taking with me is that
learning styles are a myth. From this point, I will know to not try and fit things into my “learning
style” in order to understand the material. I’ve also learned that making things a priority, can
help with time management. So instead of seeing things such as exercise as things that can be
put off, making them a priority can make you make time for it.
6. Life in the Future
If all goes according to plan, I’ll be an athletic trainer for a good team, preferably a football or
basketball team. I’d be doing this somewhere in Texas, in a decent sized town; kind of like how
Melissa is right now.
