1. Describe your ideal study environment.
My ideal place to study is a quiet, cool, comfortable place. Though I don’t have an office area or a desk I do prefer studying in my room. I close my door and block out all the noise that may be going on in the living room. I find it easier for me to concentrate and be able to be away from other distractions in my house.
2. List some of the distractions that might hinder your study progress or your performance in an online classroom.
Some of the distractions I found to be an obstacle was the TV. I was studying and completing my work in the living room. At first this was not a problem but then my favorite TV shows would come on or my baby niece would come up to me and want to play. One other major distraction I find is my cell phone. I might get calls here and there and that pulls my attention away from my computer.
3. What actions can you take to manage and eliminate distractions?
Some actions that I can definitely take is like I stated before, go to a quiet place and lock myself to avoid any distraction trying to interfere with my learning time. One other thing I can do is to put my cell phone on silent. This will help me eliminate the distraction that my cell phone brings. I will still be able to see calls coming in just in case of an emergency but I won’t be tempted to pick up if I don’t hear it.
4. How will you apply your personal learning style? How does your personal Learning style affect your study habits?
I find myself to be a visual learner. Some other strategies that I find helpful are to read and re read notes that I write as I read along the chapters
