Managing my Learning
Activity 1
| Recognition/ Reflection | Action |
| What helps my learning? | How can I utilise this? |
| Example: “Discussing the topic with others” | · Set up a study group of like-minded peers· Engage with the online community |
| When I need to focus on an essay, I need quiet | · Go to the silent section of the UoD Library |
| If I am really struggling to focus, I find privacy then works | · If I still cannot study in library, I will study in my room. |
| A tidy area | · Go to library· Regularly do wash loads and keep my room clean enough to work in. |
| Mnemonics | · This will help me to remember parts of my presentation easier and also to help remember information for traditional exams. |
| Recognition/Reflection | Action | |
| What hinders my learning? | How can I address this factor? | |
| Example: “I’m easily distracted” | · Study in a place where distractions are minimal· Read lecture notes before the lecture and then take notes lectures to keep me focused | |
| Social Media | · Mute my devices for a period of study. | |
| Long periods of study tire me and mentally drain me | · Take occasional breaks but know when to have a break and when to keep working. | |
| Lack of organisation | · Make sure I know everything I need to be doing and how I can do it. | |
