Activity 3.4 - Reflections on Note-making:
What do you think of our note-making model?
I think the note-making model is simple and easy. It's not as long as the frequently used 2-column notes - which consists of excessive notes that aren't needed.
Did our instructions help you better understand how to make notes?
Yes, especially the site with help on paraphrasing and summarizing. The instructions are easy to follow: "Read chunks by chunks and summarize/paraphrase" and the other notes are basically self-explanatory.
Do you feel that after using these note-making strategies you have a better understanding of the text than if you had just read it? Why or why not?
I feel that after using these note-making strategies helped be better my understanding. Mainly because as I'm reading, I get somewhat an understanding of the text, then to do the notes, I would have to re-read as many times as I could to take down the most important pieces of information. Also, with these strategies, I'm able to summarize and paraphrase into short simplistic sentences to my own benefits.
Which of the Note-Making Essentials did you struggle the most with? Why?
In my point of view, the essential that I struggled the most with was making connections. Simply, I'm just horrible at making connections.

Grace, born quality or learned quality.

The x-factors are the factors that are believe that leads most people so success.
According to many psychologists and philosophers, the x-factors to success are charisma, chutzpa, joie de vivre and grace. These terms originate from the language of French. (Charisma = charm, influencing; chutzpa = insolence, audacity; Joie de vivre = keen enjoyment of living; Grace = state of being disciplined.)
It can depend on one's intelligence, beauty, talent, and so on. Well, let's just say this; it depends on the person who embodies the qualities. From one's insolence, to one's charm, it all varies throughout a character.
The ads are for weekly subscribers who might be interested in subscribing the articles from Pyschologists. Other ads introduces readers to therapists help near local areas. The organization is at the same time trying to help those in need, but also trying to gain some profit by gaining subscribers.
Such is true, it is the most teacheable and encouraging subject. It requires effort to gain mental and emotional discipline. But grace can also be something that you have or don't.
Charisma is a rare quality yet it is common. Charismatic leaders such as presidents inspires devotion; inspires in general. (for example: Abraham Lincoln). Even public speakers, like Martin Luther King Jr. who devotes himself to rid of segregation.
