1. Describe the two ways that students normally study in a typical college course. The college students study by attending lectures and taking on the subject of their interests. The average college lecture will last about one hour fifteen minutes and mostly involves the instructors dictating and explaining the points while the students are taking notes. Secondly, the college students use the group’s discussion to study (Paul & Elder, 2013). The groups help the student to learn since they are actively involved in the process. The student understands more of what is taught in groups than when it is presented in the instructional format.
2. Evaluate a mode of study that you do well and

The inability of the educational system to provide equitable education leads to the achievement gap between different groups of students. The most important elements of the mixed quality classroom are the need to facilitate knowledge constructions for students that have different abilities. Differentiation of learning is the only way for facilitating effective learning for all the students in a mixed-ability classroom (Paul & Elder, 2013).
4. What are the characteristics of the exemplary student? Which do you think are most important? An exemplary student is the one that can solve problems and analyze the available information. Such a student will also have the ability to recognize bias, appreciate the diverse opinion of other students, apply the information, and learn new ideas. I think it is critical for an exemplary student to be fair minded. Being fair minded are the results developing cognitive and socio-emotional stability. A fair-minded student, therefore, needs to have other qualities like intellectual integrity, and humility.
5. Identify and explain the ways that humans learn (reading, writing, speaking, listening). Analyze yourself about your strongest and weakest areas of learning and provide examples that reflect how you plan to improve your learning skills. A human learn through a process processes that include the fact that one has to be exposed to information that is
Students in the class are social and very active in class. Students learn how to be respectful, attentive, and demonstrate good behavior in the classroom. The teacher will create a suitable learning environment so that each student can grasp the concepts. There will also be small groups formed for better learning and support opportunities.

Critical thinking primarily includes the skill of analysing argument, making inferences using inductive or deductive reasoning, judging or evaluating text, making decision or perception on a writing and even trying to solve issues. It requires cognitive skills and dispositions – which can be considered to be ones habits or openness to various view- points. Critical thinking pertains to the reading and writing process and it involves general and domain specific aspects of critical thinking. In my opinion, critical thinking is a cross- disciplinary skill vital for college and employment. Prior to this course, I had a vague idea of what critical thinking means and how it is done. However, now I have developed a different perspective
I will create a student centered by creating an environment that operates in collaboration, project-based learning, and conversation between student and teacher. Additionally, I want to supply a great deal of resources in my classroom that are easily accessible to the students. This will empower students to take charge of their learning and start to self-advocate for personal needs. Finally, I want to fully immerse my personality into my classroom. I am a laid back, passionate, hardworking, generous, and humorous individual. These characteristic will be displayed in my warm and nurturing attitude toward my students and my ability to create high expectations for each of them. It is my hope that by personally expressing myself to my student that they will also allow their individual characteristics to be fully present in the classroom. This will create a safe and proactive learning environment within my
Humans are adapted uniquely to learn, and this process id has done throughout their entire lifespan, for the cases of learning, it does not stop even after higher education, implying that learning is a gradual process throughout the entire lifespan. Those people who keep learning are always very successful in transforming their lives, that of their families, and then that of the entire community. Also, the process of learning does not take place in isolation. Furthermore, there are some factors that may either be instrumental in boosting the learning process or hindering the process of learning. The motivation of a person can either help or sometimes hinder his ability in the process of learning. One's external factors, for instance, the demands and obligations can be either hinder or help his learning process. There are some factors can influence learning behavior of a person, and these may include the resources of possessed by the people, availability of the information concerning learning opportunities, the presence of favorable learning environment, and among
The syllabus and our class conversations have highlighted some of the topics we will discuss in this class. Which topic/issue/theme do you think will be the most uncomfortable one (for you) to discuss? Why?
I follow all class values as decided in the beginning of this class; for instance, keeping my self on the topic and not using electronic devices except when needed to look up something related to class content. I engaged in all classes and took part in all learning activities attentively. I gave my point of view on the topics of discussion in class. I not only represented my point of view but asked questions related to topic as well, as I believe in “being fool for a few minutes is better than being fool for life”. In addition to represent my point of view, I accepted and
In today’s current school systems, the question of whether or not schools are correctly teaching students the right curriculum is coming up for debate. In the Article,"Teaching Critical Thinking by Marcia Clemmitt, she goes into extensive research of the U.S. Department of Education’s crisis of standardized testing. Most learning activities include standardized testing which lacks many students to express creative and critical thinking. Critical thinking is defined as the examination and evaluation of ideas, events and arguments in their contexts which introduces students to interrogate assumptions and identifying biases (Clemmitt)Pure critical thinking involves investigating a text more than just memorizing, but to apply theirself in other ways of techniques, meaning schools should stimulate more analytical methods of teaching. This would not only free students from a sheltered test culture,but will allow students to think in a deeper,more passionate way than before.
I have learned it is important to hold myself to high standards and I hope my students will return the favor. Responsibility, respect, honor, and equality are four specific qualities I value and I anticipate my students will see me display these traits and model after them. I want nothing more and expect nothing less than to see young minds grow and mature into exceptional individuals who succeed in and out of the classroom.
I think good students have to be hard as rocks and flowing as water. They should be ready to work hard and endure difficult concepts and topics, but at the same time they shall not become static or closed minded, and be ready for future challenges. I’ve always tried to give my best over the course of my studies since the very beginning: I scored the highest possible mark (cum laude) on both my high school diploma and my bachelor degree. In the master I’m currently enrolled my grade average is the highest among all students, as I’m the first placed in the ‘’student honor program’’ for my year, and this was also the case during the bachelor.
Whether it's before you have the student and ignore all a gene that they are a person and not a test score or number. By accepting students not based on prior or great achievements but by celebrating their individual performance and who they were able to maximizing their talents in the classroom or athletic field. And lastly by excepting them not based on being a well-behaved student but excepting them because they are students and they need to be shown the proper care and value that each person should be afforded in our society
Learning occurs when information is transmitted through and processed in a student’s mind (information processor) to memory. Knowledge can be transmitted and students learn by passively absorbing knowledge.

A good student is someone who always tries to do the right thing and makes education an important priority. Being a good student in school is an excellent start on having a successful future. Motivation is the key to their success. There are many qualities to be considered a good student. Three of the most important qualities are maintaining good grades, having excellent behavior, and managing your time wisely.
