What I Have Learned and What I Wish to Improve


Getting Organized
What I Have Learned
This semester has been a very challenging one. I have been challenged the most in my mathematics classes. Mathematics has not been a tough subject for me to grasp the concept, but when you mix upper level mathematics or (four thousand levels) with a lower level or (three thousand levels) it can be difficult to get the two subject matters confused or mixed up, especially with them being so similar. Overall, I have learned to remain calm and patient with these challenging courses. Keeping my composure, and not becoming overwhelmed with assignments, has taught me I can overcome anything.

What I Wish to Improve

I wish to learn more about organizing my classes. The binder method with dividers does not work for me at all. I tried it, and I never keep up with the binder or keep it organized. Also, I need to figure a way to organize my syllabi at the beginning of the semester. As the semester becomes more hectic, it becomes more difficulty to constantly look at each syllabus every day.

Different Social Media Techniques Explored

Social Media Techniques

Twitter
The social media techniques that I have explored thus far are Twitter and Blogger. The twitter project that is required for my Professional Writing course is interesting. I have learned that twitter is not necessarily used for finding out the latest drama. Twitter can be used in a more social networking kind of way. By following important news anchors and future graduate schools, I am able to remain informed of the new updates and deadlines coming up. Of course Twitter should not be my only resource for finding out information. But, being taught how to use Twitter as a professional feature with all of the required tweets , follows, and URL posts has made me view Twitter as a tool not just a social media.


Blogger
Blogger is the next social media tool that I am currently exploring. Thus far, it is a pretty neat way to get your thoughts out in a professional manner. Blogging helps to remove those cluttering thoughts from the mind, and put those thoughts down on a Blog.
