Learning Profile

Some common themes I read in the Student Connect book include: different ways to become more connected and involved in your college and knowing your surroundings, different types of studying tips, and how to organize, prioritize and manage your time between school, extracurricular activities, work and free time. I really enjoyed the reading material eventhough, we did not thoroughly read it. Especially, the helpful studying tips and the true stories among the chapters.

My strengths as a student are mainly organizational skills and being able to prioritize my time. I have always had a job as I went to school and in my opinion the more involved you are and staying busy helps you when it comes to homework. It sets limits and times you have to get things done. I believe prioritizing is important to succeed. You have to know what is important and what needs to be finished right away apart from what can wait.

One main weakness I have as a student is reading. It is tough for me to sit down and just read. Especially if it is mandatory. I love novels and reading for my own entertainment. Why it is any different from reading a textbook, I do not know. I see many other studnets breeze throught the reading material one time and understand it completely, where I have to read through it atleast twice to fully comprehend it. I guess that is just one difficulty I will have to work on to improve, because as a college studnent that is very important and vital to succeed.

I was not exactly sure what this class was about as I came into it, but I am glad and thankful that I took it. I became more familiar with the campus and about myself. Mrs. Milbourn was very helpful and understanding. After taking this class, I know that I have an open and educated adult that I can turn to if I am in need of any help. So, Thank you Mrs. Milbourn!

I particularly liked reading and taking teh quizzes that were in the textbook about the type of learner I am. It is neat to find out those characteristics about yourself that you may not have known. Maybe thought you knew the perfect way to study, but realized that is not the best way or correct way you effeciently learn the material to the best of your potential.

I believe the content was covered in a good way. I liked the activites that were involved such as, going outside and doing an opinion activity on the sidewalk. I think it let us get to know eachother more and it is nice to change the atmosphere a little every once and a while. It is also good to stray away from book work and lectures.

For future students: I would just like to advise you to go to class, because Mrs. Milbourn makes it easy to get in touch with the college and teaches some helpful real life hints about succeeding. Also, ask for help if needed. She seems to be very open and loves to help! So take advantage of nice and understanding instructor, because there are not many out there!



I will always see this class as a good experience. It was much more fun than I had expected. Through class and tips I got to know the campus and met more people. I learned that interaction with teachers through e-mail and so on is a good way to stay on top of things.
