The concept from our class that I find myself use the most in my other classes is the descriptive outline. In my other classes I do lots of academic reading and the concepts in the readings tend to get lost through out the reading due to tendency to read just to read. Descriptive outlines help with that tendency because when writing a descriptive outline you have to slow down on your reading which makes you comprehend what you are reading, and when writing out the different types of chunks for the readings you are re-writing what is written in the assigned reading from doing this you are reading and explaining whats being read which can help with comprehension. Descriptive outlines prove to help slow down reading and make it easier to understand and if needed easier to review because each topic will have its own written chunk of the purpose and concept.
Labor Logs and its benefits
In reading and writing class I have learned many things. One that I feel has helped me not only in this class but also in my other classes is my labor log. My labor log has helped me to learn where and when I work and read the best. For example, I have learned that when I work in the library, for one, I actually work, and two, I tend to consistently have a scale 5 focus. In reflecting upon my labor log, I tend do most of my work just before it is due. But I do my best work in the mornings or at night in the library. I think that a benefit of keeping track through your labor log is being able to identify patterns and be able to reflect upon them and fix them. And this can be done in all classes. In my math class, I usually start my online assignments right before they're due and sometimes I am unable to do them at all then I am stuck with no help. So it is helpful to see that I need to break this habit.
Understanding and being aware of descriptive outlining while there are huge and difficult text chunks is an useful and a strategic approach acquired from the CAD class. I believe your noticing the usage of descriptive outlines and knowing how to use this reform in readings is truly a helpful and an exemplary thought of guidance.
