Studying!



Doing the Coursera Animal Behaviour and Welfare as my summer project. Copying a posting I made to the Japanese Study Forum here: " I just took the week two quiz this morning.. full score!  My study tips: 1 take it when my brain is fresh in the morning 2. after watching the videos 3 times, once on Friday to be in time for the Hangout and to get the general idea, once yesterday 3. taking notes to make sure I understood, and then watching videos in the evening again in tandem with my notes to double check I had noted main points. 4. When I got tired I was reading forums, clicking on outside links (like the pain things) blogging, walking the dogs, or doing the housework, and 5. I'd run some videos like a radio for input while cooking and so on. 6. I read some passages of Patricia McConnell"For the Love of a dog" to remind me why I chose the course and put me in good happy space. 7. Consolidate by exploring the pain study sites recommended. Also I noticed vocabulary and ideas that I am learning here were in McConnell's book p.16 "Misplaced anthropomorphic concerns" "All students of animal behavior...are rigorously trained in the accurate observation of behavior" p.29 "the signal runs through the amygdala....the amygdala signals "Emergency!"" p115 so I reconfirmed I was noticing and learning. 8. Add some lavender, rosemary and lemon balm drops to my aroma stone. Then I felt confident to give the test a go! Now I can go and enjoy the day, and I know I'll be hooked by Week 3 tomorrow!


今朝さっそく二週目のクイズに無事挑戦。満点通か!勉強の仕方:1.テストは脳がさえている朝のうち。2.ビデオすべて三回みる。3.一回目はざっと、二回目細かくメモ取る、三回目メモとビデオで抑ええ居るかのチェック。。。4.疲れたときは犬たちと遊ぶ!家事!フォラム読みなど!散歩!5.家事しながらラジオみたいにまたビデオ流す。6.大好きな本を読み、講座に興味を持ったきっかけを思い出し、幸せな落ち着いた波で挑む7.復讐はサイトの痛みの勉強とか、持っている本を読んだとき、関連した表現、専門用語を再認識して、勉強になっている自信をつけて。。。8.アローマストーンにラベンダー、ローズマリ、レモンバーム何適か。。。そしてテストに挑む!これからほっとしたから、一日気持ちよく過ごせるし、また、明日の新しい勉強内容が楽しみ。"
