Hidden Assignment

1) Goals for this class:
- Get an A
- Understand not only how kids learn but how I learn
- Keep track of my notes, assignments and what I've learned so that during my student teaching, and next few years, Ill be able to look back and remember.

2) My weekly preparation plan for this class is not to get behind! I'll do that by having the readings done by Thursday since I only have one class on that day and have the homework done by Monday.

3) My study strategies are simple. This is how I've always studied but I am always opened to new ideas, of course. Note cards are key for understanding key concepts, ideas and definitions. Highlight while I read and write questions that I have during the readings and follow up with them. I will never bring my laptop to class because I'll get distracted and I have ADD.

4) My process for not understanding a topic and how to follow up with it is to ask the teacher. I would rather ask the teacher than research if for myself, or ask my peers.

5) I will reach my goals in the course by attending class...even when I just want to go home and take a nap. Remember each class that I am paying for this and if I will pay attention, then I will learn something. I take what I want out of the class.
