Historiographic metafiction somehow acknowledges the paradox of the past, that is to…

motivated peers obtained higher grades in the what they deemed as challenging classes, but not in the classes they deemed less challenging. To reflect on intrinsic versus extrinsic motivation I referred to what we learned in chapter three. I used a mnemonic to keep it simple, intrinsic means internal.

We were given new lists of words every week and at the end of each year a final about them all. I had to memorize these terms because many of them we would later use when learning in class. I used different techniques to remember all of these. Mnemonics, flashcards, and writing the terms many times. I always did really well on these because of my preference of memorization. Another time memorization came in handy for me was when we were learning the skills for the CNA test. We were given a…

ADHD is defined as “A chronic condition marked by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and sometimes impulsivity”. These students have to…

He mentioned that as a chemistry major, he did not have to do senior research, as I do, just a presentation. I asked him what his presentation was about, and he…
