Chapter One Reflection

Being that this isn’t my first year at college several of these topics in the chapter

I’m very familiar with. Being a college student is a big accomplishment for any

individual but also isn’t something that’s easy to maintain. I’ve learned with experience

that college is about time management. Once you learned how to manage your time in

college everything else will fall into place for itself.

Although I’m familiar with these topics in the chapter I still want to learn

different ways to perform these task. I’m still not good with time management but I know

will some guidance I will be. I also want to improve my preparation for exams and being

able to adapt to the college lifestyle. College can be a distraction if you let it but there are

still ways to remain focus.

After reading this I’ve learned how to develop reading and learning strategies

to help my learning style. I also learned how to improve my comprehension different

methods to improve my comprehension. Another helpful section in the reading

was “Analyzing Difficult Readings”. I felt that section allowed me to figure out what

type of reader I was and help me in certain areas.

Although this isn’t my first semester in college I do feel like there is multiple

things I can improve on and also learn. I hope to learn many different aspects to improve

my test taking skills and reading comprehension as I feel those are the areas that I need

improvement on.
