After reading the article.I have understand the different views from the professors regarding multi-tasking. In the terms,why they think it is good/bad or neutral.Basically the article is trying to give examples by showing and testing different person /The test they had taken for people(experiment). Actually i think that each person has their own characteristics. So we can't compare a person to another person.As everyone has their own way of learning,they have their own style of studying(eg).Everyone would prefer to learn differently.Attitude is also very important.Attitude towards thing/studies,each would use different method,each will have different attitude .Each think differently. In my view I think that some people would prefer multi-tasking as they feel that it is necessary to.But others don’t feel it that way.Some feel that multi-tasking gives them a real sense of accomplishment.This is because they are doing a few things in one time.
But,personally, I feel that multi-taking gives me a false sense of having accomplished in something.This is because, I felt that multi-tasking would drift off my attention to some other things rather than paying attention to what I am suppose to do. This might lead to a worse situation where I have miss out the important things that had been said earlier on. In my point of view , whenever I does a few things in one goal,I will feel very confused and stress up. As I am not being able to focus on the only one thing. This might resulted me not doing a good job, or I will feel afraid that the task being done is not of my best effort.Because my mind is spilt as in split into learning different things.You might not know whether you have done a good piece of work when you multi-task.
Is learning 3D and design different from programming or is all learning the same? Why?
Learning is the knowledge acquired by systematic study in any field of scholarly application.
Learning is the act or process of acquiring knowledge or skill.
Psychology . the modification of behavior through practice, training, or experience.
We started learning since we were very young. We learn 123.ABC. We learn new things in our everyday life.Generally,by comparing in a more indapt form,we look more indapt to the subject between learning 3D/design or programming.There is a difference.3D uses software that are very complex.We need to slowly explore with the different tools.We uses tools in the software like maya to create an 3-Dimensional object. It is very challenging as we must be patience while doing. Working on 3D isn't simple.This is because we must first being able to see in 3D and slowly develop to a better 3D learner.
While design,It is something that require not just the skill in drawing/sketching,handling photoshop.illustrator. Design also requires creativity,innovative/coming out with innovative idea/inspiration in order to create a good piece of work.
Programming.It is totally different compare to 3D and design. As progammings are computer language. We need to use source code in order to communicate with the computer.It is a large chunk of codes.pseudo codes ,variables,function.Everything uses codes.Thus sometimes programming can be dry and static.After thinking actually learning are all the same.This are all learning,we are learning new skills,gaining new knowledge,experience new things as to help us improve in our daily life as to overcome challenges.We learn because we are interested,we learn because of our future.We learn because of many reasons.Actually learning 3D,design,programming,english,maths.They are all the same.They are a stepping stone of knowledge we carried on in our life. Everyone learn different things everyday. But the most important key point is in you,whether you want to learn.So attitude and mindset matters.You might like 3d,but hate programming.Actually,have we ever try to make friends with programming and slowly like them.Set the correct mindset.You will find that learning is all the same.
The article states that “Learning is actually a very complex operation for an individual”. Do you agree with this? Do you feel that you approach your learning in the best way – if yes, how, and if no, how can you change your work style?
Learning is actually a very complex operation for an individual.I agree.Since we were young,we have started learning.Learning to crawl,sit,walk,run,cycle a bicycle,talk,when we go to school, we learn ABC,12345.Slowly we grow up and we go to primary school.Meeting new friends in life.We learn how to communicate.We learn english,maths,science,chinese.Then follow by secondary school,polytechnic,junior college,university.We learn everyday.Slowly we learn more complex things.We took test and exams each semester to test our understanding of each subjects and to test on what we have learn.I think that learning is not easy. It is stressful. Sometimes even feel helpless when we met with difficulties in our studies.But teachers,friends are always there to lend a helping hand.But when we were young learning can be simple.Like A for Apple.B for Ball. Actually this just come naturally to us.
I feel that i have approach my learning in the best way.As i will always strive for the best in learning or better in my learning.This is because,if i approach my learning in the best way. There might be a lot of benefits. I can be more efficient in my academic.I will pay attention in class and try to keep focus and not get distracted easily.Whenever in doubt,I will ask for help from my friend or teachers. I would bring all my necessary notes for lesson and copy down the important points.This will help as when exam are approaching i am able to just read the important key points rather than the whole text book. I will also get my work done on time. As this is my responsibilty as a student. It is my own learning. So i must be responsible and do it well. My parents work so hard funded my studies. So i must work hard and study hard.Whenever my friends need help, i will try to help.As this will help me improve myself. When you teach a person you might have practice the same question twice.Thus i will be more confident and familarise with the question.In all i still thinks that attitude matters alot. (:
What are your thoughts about the last paragraph in the extract?
After reading the extract,I feel that talent,personality is not the main key to success.Although this are still a key point to success.Personally i feel that the main key to success is attitude.Attitude is manner, disposition, feeling, position, etc., with regard to a person or thing; tendency or orientation, especially of the mind: a negative attitude; group attitudes.
It is also a position or posture of the body appropriate to or expressive of an action, emotion, etc.: a threatening attitude; a relaxed attitude.
The last paragraph talks about communication.Communication is the imparting or interchange of thoughts, opinions, or information by speech, writing, or signs.Communication is important.Since young,we learn how to communicate within each other,friends,family in order to pass down message.Firstly,it talks about team members in the paragraphs. Team members need to built rapport between each other.Thus this will give them an opportunity to understand each person views and opinion.This will reduce conflict and unhappiness between each other. As when this are reduce.Problems will not be aroused easily. It will then allow the team members to work together more efficiently and work well with each other..I totally agree that communication is a common thing. But able to communicate well is different .This will leave a impression of you to other people. Being able to communicate so as to accomplished the task fufilling the requirement.Communication plays a important role in our life. If people do not communicate or does not communicate well,this will result in chaotic in the world as conflict might be aroused. If there is no communication, the world will be in silence, human beings will be cold towards each other. As many express feelings through communication. I believe that communicating is a criteria to achieved fulfilling results.The results can be a success in the things that you do. The results can be your goal.
Should your lecturers also focus on your work attitude, or just leave you to sink or swim on your own? Why?
Personally,I think that lecturers should focus on our work attitude and not just leaving us to sink or swim on our own.Attitude is a important key to every single component.If the lecturers focus on our work attitude,they are being able to communicate and understand what are our needs,problems and doubts we are facing.Thus there are someone there to lend a helping hand,this would allow the students to clear their doubts and problem and not just leaving it unsolved.By focusing and observing the students work attitude,the lecturers would be able to organised their teaching base on our progression of work and also are we able to manage and cope with the current plan of teaching,This would also help the lecturers to find out which teaching method suits us and which do we prefer.There are advantages and disadvantages .If the lecturers just leave us to sink or swim on our own.I feel that if some of the students whom are slower in learning or catching up will eventually lack behind and worse lost.They might suffer through the semester without getting help.The attitude for the subject will change.This is because we might be facing problems coping and understanding the subject.This might result them to lost interest in the subject.As no one understand what are the problems we are facing. Soon more and more problems collated.We might lastly breakdown.
However the advantage is that by letting us swim on our own. This allow us to be independent and to be responsible for our work.We are responsible for our own studies. We should learn to be independent.When in doubts we must find a solution and not just wait for the lecturers to help us. They are not 24 hours there for us.So we have to be independent to find our solution. We can get help by asking friends and i always tell myself that every problem has a solution.
Lastly i feel that lecturers should get feedback each semester or frequently from their students about their teaching.This would help the lecturers by undertstanding whether the teaching method is efficient and does it helps in their progression of works or is there any changes to be made to make the teaching even better and students learn better too. :)
