en-understanding
Miss recommends us to jot notes when we read: after understanding every paragraphs, write down the words in my own expression. It is more useful for use to re-read. I quite agree with her point. When I was in F.6, I retook the HKCEE in Chemistry. In that year, I jotted down all the important points into other points into another book. Then at the day I had my exam, I just read that book instead of bringing four textbooks. Although I spent much more time to write my own notes, the result proved that this method worked. However, as we now studying further, it is not same as HKCEE. The syllabus is much more detail. If I still use this method in my present study, I am sure I cannot follow the rate of progress of the syllabus. Thus, I do not use this method now. But is there any other method good for me to apply?
I also have a question: We spent almost the whole lecture to talk about argument, how to distinguish it from other statements and identify the sentences to see if they are premise or conclusion. Yet what is the use of identifying a statement as an argument? Is that what we need to know when we can judge or with other uses?
I got many difficulties and questions in writing this second reflective journal. At first, I think I know well to write journal, but later, I don’t think so. Do I need to write every reflective journal referring to the previous lecture or tutor? I cannot apply them so quick and see if they work for me.
The content of the third lecture is quite hard for me to apply in my daily life. Apart from the above mentioned problem, I also have a question of what I learnt from the third session. At that tutor session, we focused on evaluating the author’s tone and works, the choice of evidence, the validity of the evidence. I think these points can be tried only when I read a commentary or article. If I am reading some storybooks or textbooks, can I still apply them?
