Lecture Date 09/13/2012

For this class period we had the opportunity to hear from two of the CSUMB’s faculty members about the classes they teach. He introduced himself to us and gave his presentation about the different projects that he has been involved, which is very informative about how muw knowledgeable he is on network and security. Also,Dr. Sathya Narayanan continued his presentation about what we can expect as students to do for our Individual Learning Plans. Then the next to give a presentation was Pat watson that gave a presentation for students that are majoring in Communication Design and showcased a few works that previous students and himself have worked in the past.

I found the Dr. Tao gave the some of the best information about how to raise your current GPA from a 2.0 to a 4.0. Which gives me hope as I want to raise my own GPA to give myself a better presence when I plan to look for a career in the technology industry.



Study Skills that I excel at:

• I do not read out loud to myself
• silently reading allows you to retain more information
• as well as allowing you to read at a faster pace than you normally would if you were to read out loud
• Outlining text books:
• allows for the main points in the text to be more easliy remembered than if they were to be underlined or highlighted in a textbook
• Study places:
• by choosing an appropriate place to study one is more likely to remove themselves from a majority of distractions through their daily routines.

Study Skills I lack at:

• Scheduling:
• Being able to schedule your routine throughout the day is an important asset to have in both your educational and professional careers.
• Getting the main idea:
• understanding the main idea of any given text is essential to effective study strategies
• Reviewing and revising notes
• through the ability to review and revise lecture notes immediately after the lecture ends to better suit your needs while studying, any student is more likely to retainteh information better and be able to able the lessons later.
