Response 1 The knowledge that we learn in the CLSK classes are actually quite simple and well-known. However, I definitely grow up after this class because it offers me a much further understanding on how to learn well and how to be a good person.
The most general and influential thing that I learn from the class is that having a growth mindset is so important, especially in the intense learning environment in Rose. I am always trying to avoid fix mindset that makes people inactive and not responsible for themselves. Instead, fix mindset is like: “The courses are challenging but it is incredibly rewarding when you master something that has been difficult for you in the past.”(Chapter 5 Fixed vs. Growth Mindsets https://moodle.rose-hulman.edu/mod/book/view.php?id=746303). …show more content…
I used to sleep less than 6 hours per day and it did make me feel extremely tired when I am learning. The book emphasizes how harmful it is to our study efficiency when we are sleep-deprived(Chapter 2, The New Science of Learning). I tried to do homework earlier and not pushing off tasks to late night. Eventually, I could guarantee 7 hours of sleeping every day, so that I rarely fall asleep in classes. Except from sleeping time, there is one interesting point that studying before going to bed is good for memorization! This is also applicable to my life.
Finally, one helpful tips that I learn from Max Morgan’s video from the 9th week talking about time management is that we should do works individually first, and when we get stuck for a period of time, don’t hesitate to ask for help. I got stuck when I am doing homework regularly. I attempted to stare at it and fix it by thinking again and again, but it turns out that it isn’t effective. So when I am confused and don’t know what to do, I choose to ask professor, search on the internet, or ask classmates. This tip from him helps me a lot in terms of not wasting time thinking
