Activity 1
I will update the tables below as I continue to learn what helps my learning.
| Recognition/ Reflection | Action |
| What helps my learning? | How can I utilise this? |
| Discussing the topic with others | Set up a study group of like-minded peers |
| Bright, interesting work | Use colours in my revision notes by making key words stand out without spending too long focusing on the creative side |
| Short and to the point notes | Use post it notes to summarise my learning |
| Planning | Ensure I know what I am doing by creating a plan before I start my work |
| Regular Breaks | Set time aside for breaks to ensure I don’t spend too long on work that I lose concentration. It is important to take breaks too. |
| Recognition/Reflection | Action | |
| What hinders my learning? | How can I address this factor? | |
| Distractions | Remove all distractions in the room e.g. my phone (put it on airplane mode) or go to the library where I am around likeminded people. | |
| Not reading ahead of lectures | Set time aside to read before each lecture. | |
Activity 2
I use a diary and to do list to ensure I know what work I have to do and when it is due. I also plan my time using a timetable to make sure I spend an appropriate length of time on each task especially during busy time periods such as near deadlines.
