This week in class was very questionable for me. Or should I say, I am more nervous for the presentation we have to do tomorrow in class. Even though I am not a teacher I used a project my job has me doing and modified it, just like the rest of the class had to do for one of their curriculum's. My biggest fear right now, is if I did it correctly. We shall see tomorrow at eight p.m.
In the last chapters we read for class, we read about similarities and differences, generating hypothesis, and homework & practice. All these tactics were used by me and everyone else growing up. Similarities and differences supposed to help the individual quickly figure out what the 'subject' does not have in common. It's a compare and contrast tactics to me. It takes a lot of thinking for similarities and differences to me.
Generating hypothesis is one of my favorites. Some may say its a lot of work, but I think you get better results when you try it yourself and also if you are an individual that like to test yourself or see how much you really know. It can take awhile by testing something, not getting the result you expected on and having to do it again. It's more work than the others and it's making you think about different ways to get an answer to you test.
Homework and Practice are the very first way we all learned to become perfect. Practice makes perfect! We hear that every where, in school, church, band, doing homework, from our parents, friends, etc. But it's true, practice does make perfect. When a student gets the homework, they are learning especially if they keep practicing it. It's their choice to do it, but more of the parent's choice to be on them and constantly reminding them what is important. This reminds me of the UNCF statement, "The mind is a beautiful thing to waste" and it is. Practicing something, you will become perfect at it. One should practice what they really love and then it will become a passion for them.
I agree with the idea that generating Hypothesis is a lot of work but it is the most fun for me as well. There is so much that could happen or be said that one does not always know which route the lesson will take!
ReplyDeleteI think it's great that you are modifying things for your workplace. I don't know what kind of position you are aspiring for in the future or in what kind business or school but having the skills you are learning will definitely be valuable. Perhaps your skills will get noticed and you might get more training related tasks. Whatever, keep it up.
