Famous Last Words: Week 12

My readings for this week have gone really well. I did some more videos for my reading. I am actually liking them better than the readings because I feel like I understand the stories better when they are told to me orally and seeing images rather than reading a book. I think in general the videos tend to be use more informal language which makes it to fully understand the story whereas the books tend to not do this. My best writing for this week was done for a paper I had due for my class it was also the only writing I did this week. After doing a read through my essay (which I did because I did not have a big enough word count) I was able to not only achieve a high enough word count, but I was also able to read through and edit and refine my paper more than I usually do when I write. I also feel like with the amount of writing I do in this class and the feedback I get from that writing has made me a better writer than I have been. My other classes are going good with the exception o...

Wikipedia Trail: From Lancelot to Colin Morgan

Lancelot: I chose to start with Lancelot after I saw him in the class announcements because I have always loved the stories of King Arthur and the knights of the round table. Guinevere: I then went to Guinevere because I was curious on what ever happened to her after her affair with Lancelot was discovered. Merlin (2008 TV Series): I chose to go here from Guinevere's page because this is one of my favorite TV shows. Colin Morgan: I chose to come to this page from the Merlin page because I really appreciate Colin Morgan as the amazing actor he is.

Tech Tip: Canvas Notifications

I like how the notifications on Canvas are set up so you whether you want to be notified right away, receive a weekly summary, receive a monthly summary, or receive nothing at all.This way you can choose any of the options for all the notification types this helps me avoid getting annoying messages every five seconds. I also like the option where you can get emails, and if you have the app you also get notified on your phone. I have set up my notifications on canvas so that I can be alerted when an assignment has been added to canvas, when there is an announcement, when an assignment has been graded, and when a new file has been added.

Growth Mindset: 7 Key Maxims of a Mindset Focused on Growth

7 Key Maxims of a Mindset Focused on Growth Something I already knew was that success is more of a mindset rather than a skill set. One knew thing I learned was that a problem might require multiple solutions not just one. Something I want to try is setting stretch objectives some further research might be required to figure this out. Growth Mindset meme Source

Learning Challenge: How To Build A Realistic Study Plan That You'll Actually Stick To

How To Build A Realistic Study Plan That You'll Actually Stick To I already knew what a study plan was. One thing new I learned was that you should start off by blocking out the things you regularly do from day to day. Something I would be interested in doing is making a realistic studying plan according to this and testing it out. I could start out by making one for this week. Study Plan Meme Source

Week 12 Story: Radha's Heartbreak

Radha was pacing around the lake in the village muttering to herself, “I have had enough of Krishna and his player ways.” “Who are you talking to,” said a voice from behind her. Radha whirled around and saw a mysterious man. She said, “Who are you?” The mysterious man replied, “Just a passerby who happened to hear you muttering to yourself. You know a good way to vent your anger out is to just talk about it.” Radha eyed the mysterious man and then she decided that it might be for the best if she talked to someone about it, and since she had no friends this man was just as good as any. “OK,” she said. And so her story began. “It all started many years ago. I was born and raised in a village called Gokul. My whole life I had grown up alongside Krishna, and as long as I can remember I have always loved him.  He was a very popular man among the gopis who always tried to catch his attention, but he always kept his eyes on me. I would do absolutely anything for h...
