College classes are much more different than high school classes. At SJSU I am staying in throughout my classes. I dont leave early or show up late. And i always try not to fall asleep or get off track in class. I am proud of myself as a student and I plan on changing my study habits because I dont tend to study enough

Chapter 4 Your Journal

I am considering aerospace engineering as my major. Intelligences and courses that fit within this major are classes involving mathematics, physics, and chemistry. The learning process that might be most emphasized in this major is active learning, things that are hands-on. My personality style somewhat lends itself to the demands of the career i want to pursue. I believe i am pretty well suited for this major based on my learning style because i have a great interest in this major, and my learning style of active learning and reflecting on what i am taught will assist me.

Chapter 4 Know Yourself

When i have to learn how to operate a new piece of equipment, i carefully study the owner's manual. What i like best about lectures is the chance to record the ideas of an expert. My class notes usually look like notes with drawings, doodles, and other loosely related ideas or images. I prefer assignments that involve solving practical problems. In class discussion, i am a watcher rather than a direct participant. I would rather work with creative ideas. My learning motto is "let me experiment."
