Module 3.A Study strategies and habits- After looking at the Effective study skills website, I think that the three items that I am good at would have to be making every hour count. I always utilize my time effectively. When I am doing homework or just studying, I don't let things get in my way. The second thing I would have to go with is when to study. I always make time for homework no matter how much fun I have. I also always get my homework done by the due date 100% of the time. The other thing I am good at would be taking notes. I write fast, so I can jot down word by word when a professor talks. I usually make bullet point when taking notes since it is easier to read later on and it summarizes the main points. I would say that the three weak points from the website would be the value of a schedule. I honestly don't use a schedule since I do not find it to be useful. I just calculate the time in my head and get to my appointments. I memorize all of them and always arrive on time. I am a responsible person and I am on task, so I don't find it necessary to write things down in a schedule or a daily planner. I also don't find the SQ3R method useful as well. To me, each person has their own preference when it comes to any type of method and to me, I have my own as well. The last thing I choose as my weak point would have to be outlining textbooks (highlighting things). I usually just write things down and do not find it necessary to highlight things in books.

Module 3.D Learning journal-
The things I learned this week from the faculty were that the final capstone takes 9 months. I never thought it would take that long, I thought it was a semester long project since it was never mentioned in any of my other classes. I also learned that we have to sign a contract to peruse the major that we are in. Overall, I learned a lot this week.
