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 |
Making notes from the recommended reading | · Do reading before each class
· Take notes on what I have learned from the reading so I can reference and expand on it after each class |
Reading lecture slides before each class | · Take time out before each class to read over the slides so I have a good idea of what each lecture is about |
Making notes during lectures | · Reading over my notes after each class and adding in this information to what I already know e.g. recommended reading, slides |
Studying with others | · Studying with friends
· Helps to share our ideas and encourages us to get work done · Can help one another if one of us is unsure about something |
Staying Organised | · Planning out when I have free time to study
· Plan out what needs to be done first · Always giving myself plenty of time to get work done |

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 |
|
Keeping up with lecturers during class | · Ask lecturers to repeat what they have said or ask them after the class is over | |
Comprehending a large about of information at once | · Going over slides, notes and reading multiple times to ensure I understand the information thoroughly | |
Procrastinating | · Do not let other priorities give me the excuse not to do work
· Ensure that I study before doing other things so that I do not procrastinate |
|
Getting stressed | · Allow myself plenty of time to do work so that if I need help or to give myself extra time, I do not need to worry about it | |
Getting distracted by my surroundings | · Putting away my phone or turning off notifications
· Allowing myself to study alone when I really need to focus |
