New Study Strategy

The study habit I committed to try this week was to make meaningful connections with the material. That is one thing that I could definitely do better because everything we are learning is for our benefit. If we are not constantly thinking "how can I use this in my classroom?" then it is useless for us to be in the class. I think that sometimes as students we just get into the habit of learning the material to get through the test. Especially now in higher education, when were are studying things for our specific profession we need to connect with the material and apply it to ourselves.
That is why I chose this strategy to try this week. I am going to be honest, I forgot that I had made that commitment until just now when I was looking up our blog topic, but I am glad I did so I can use that technique in my studies for the rest of the weekend.
