At the beginning of ws2021, we were asked to read A Guide by Palgrave McMillian, 2014 and write ten things or thoughts we found useful. As I read throught the pdf, these things caught my eye:
- Before I start a course, I should decide whether the course is honestly appropriate for me and whether I do have time and capacity to finish it.
- and then create a time schedule for the course. Block some hours a week, when I know I will be able to study the courses.
- During the course, it is recommended to take notes, even better:
- to reflect what I learnt during a week / a part of a course.
- This semester, I would like to get into Zettelkasten system of notetaking, wish me luck with implementing the mindset!
- Find a learning community, interact in groups and share your thoughts and new learnings — this might help with my self-motivation issues.
- Finish all the course assessments in time.
- After the course, polish your portfolio and finish all the thing you haven’t had time to finish during the course. The sooner, the better.
- Reflect your thoughts on the course.
- Share what you learned with others to strenghten what you remember.
