The questions you ask should not be structured in a way that they seek one correct answer, per se, but rather perspectives or experiences of scholars that have come before you
This reminds me more of how I would approach a scientific paper, not an English paper.
In contrast, research in college builds on the “Framework for Success in Postsecondary Writing” and starts with your curiosity: asking your own questions, questions about real-life issues that matter to you, that hit close to home, that are relatedto your experience
It feels like a breath of fresh air seeing how much college focuses on the individual when it comes to writing. It's also still a very hard habit to break when it comes trying not to write like I did in high school.
Delegation is one of the only ways you can really scale your time.
I'll try applying this to my group projects and see how it works.
6. Save more than you spend.
This is something that I definitely have to work on, because I have bad spending habits.
This is a severely undervalued professional life hack.
So interning, or something along those lines. That doesn't seem like such a bad idea.
Start with your hardest tasks.
I feel like the two can overlap though. I guess it's just dependent on what your job is.
Do you have tons of calls this week? See if you can move them all to one afternoon, back to back to back.
I feel like this could work in theory, but I don't know if it's productive. I feel after a while you can zone out if all you're doing is listening to call after call.
In fact, it’s a waste of brainpower. Just set reminders and show up when you need to. It’s that easy.
This is probably something I should I adopt into my daily routine. I think it could make remembering even the small tasks a lot easier and it'll most likely help me use my time more efficiently.
So trying to extract 110% performance from today when that means having only 70% performance available tomorrow is a bad deal. You end up with just 77% of your available peak. Bad trade.
I can agree with that. I should probably view school the same way. It's a marathon not a sprint, so I have to pace myself and not just try and catch up when it's too late.
Yet somehow it seems that the tech industry still celebrates a masochistic sense of honor about sleep deprivation.
I would agree with this but at an academic level. I felt that some of my peers, as well as myself, felt that if the deprived themselves of sleep it must have meant that they put more effort than anyone else into what they were doing.
Irritability
I know for sure that if I don't get enough sleep I get effected by diminished morale and irritability the most. I think it comes from feeling like I'm running myself into the ground, but this could be avoided if I did things in an orderly fashion.
borrowing from a loan shark
I like the comparison that the author uses for sleep deprivation. I never thought of it that way.
“inquiry intoauthentic questions generated from student experiences is the central strategy for teachingscience.”
OK, so where is this method of teaching being used at?
if we’re still using tests
My AP government teacher usually quizzed us using FRQs and they really tested our understanding of the material. Because with those questions you had to elaborate on what you're talking about. You can't just skate past it.
thinking rather than justabsorbing information.
That's exactly how high school felt. Like we were packed full of knowledge and then we had to like just force it all out into one big final. But if that's proven not to be the best form of teaching, why is it still used?
Sometimes, in fact, no definitive rightanswer can be found at al
I think these are the best kinds of questions to ask, because personally, I think it encourages discussion and helps people vocalize their thoughts.
their relationship to the ‘standard.’
This is the realist thing I've ever read. Like you can't fail a fish for trying to climb a tree. Like everyone has different levels of comprehension, and for a teacher to fail the student who gave it there all is messed up.
as awareness, reading as connecting, reading as reflection on our own experience with language
I think it's important that we actually gain something from what we read. It should never just go in one ear and out the other.
your relationship to language, your visual interests and awareness, your curiosity and questions about college, knowledge, and life.
I think is a neat way to go about teaching class. Everyone has different associations with literature as a whole and how we perceive themes and what not.
