Blog Post #20 what iv learned

After doing English 1001 this semester I thought at the beginning that this was going to be a submit a paper about a book type English class. I did not think we would have to dig into yourself and how we learn as much as we did and I appreciate that this class kept me on my toes. I don’t think that iv had to be this imitative to a class in awhile and that was a change.

“The fact that experts’ knowledge is organized around important ideas or
concepts suggests that curricula should also be organized in ways that lead
to conceptual understanding. Many approaches to curriculum design make
it difficult for students to organize knowledge meaningfully.”(page 42 How People Learn: Brain, Mind, Experience, and School) I read this and that is how I felt like in some of my english clases it was hard to get everything together and once I did get it together it felt like we were already moving on. For this class I felt like I had a better understandig of how to do that with the check ups that we had to which was nice and a little change of pace than the other english classes Iv had. Most teachers would just see that your submiting it on time but the way this classes was our proffesor would watch our patterens of when we submited the hw and when we checked it which was a change for me. It made me want to get my work more done at the begining of the week than last minute like in my other classes. This class really changed my pace of work and made me want to get my stuff done at the beginng of the week instead of procrasnating which was a chnage.

In the new project runway episode I would see how they would adapted to change and how they are hit with tasks and they don’t start stuff last minute and procrastinate they hit the task they are given at the beginning and that’s how Iv been changing to go at this class. You just have to adapt with what you are given like they are in the show.
