Throughout my time in this class I've learned many things. These things included my work habits and different ways of writing. I noticed that my habits of doing work were very different depending on location. While I did work at home there were times where I would not be very engaged, but if it was done in the afternoon or right when it becomes nighttime I found it easier to do the work. However, I found that if did my work at noon on campus I was more engaged than if I did it at another time on campus. There has also been different things I learned about writing. I learned different ways that I could change my writing according to my audience which I've used in a couple of my classes. I've also used exigence in those same writings. I feel that all these lessons will be useful even after the class since the rest of the papers I will write will always have an audience.
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.
I can really relate to this post because at the start of first semester I did my homework mainly in my dorm room. I found when I did my work while in my dorm there were many distractions and It took me much longer to complete it than if I worked in the library. Now I exclusively do my work there or in similar productive environments.
