This week I made both a source outline and topic outline. However, my study sheet differs from the traditional way of a outline because I combined both outlines into one. Not only did I label by the title, and topic, but also by source. I decided to combine them both because personally for me I know that I learn better when my notes are just in one format. This helped me be organized, furthermore whenever I wanted to go more in depth in a topic I had the chapter and sometimes the actual page next to my notes. This proved to be one of my best study outlines ever because it was very easy on the eyes, and very helpful in information. Also, writing this outline helped me because I had the read and study while putting all the information together. It was a great way to make connections to different terms, and studies to psychologists. Here is my Study outline for my PSY 205 class.
Next strategy I used was making test questions. I noticed that making test questions was a great study method as well as guessing possible test questions. When doing this strategy it made me look back at my notes, and it forced me to think critically about what the Professor is most likely to put on the test. I think this method fits my learning strategy because I know that I can not just read a lot and expect to do well on a test. I have to apply the information that I learned either my retelling what I know to a friend or in this case write out my own questions based on my notes. These test questions are from my HST 101 class as I used the lecture, discussion, and notes to come up with these questions.
I agree with what you said about how you needed to actually do something to get something out of it, because we both have the same learning styles.
