3 general critical thinking styles:
-info avoiders
-consumers
-strategists

To construct a good argument one must 1st have an accurate hypothesis with points to a reasonable ending.

Facts are less important than thinking skills to an employer because without thinking skills facts are not really useful, and thinking skills are used to solve problems during a job.

Steps to find an ideal solution
1.identify the answer
2.define the answer
3.explore other approaches
4.act on the best strategy
5.look back to evaluate the effects

Tips & Tricks #5

When bidding for an item on ebay, bid within the last 10 seconds before the bid ends, with a good max bid, so that you can win the bid better, since it would make it harder for other bidders to react to your bid and they won't have time to figure out your max bid.

-i don't know what kind of strength do i have, but my weakness is paying attention and sometimes taking in the information that was lectured. Away that most of the time helps me stay focus is to take notes while the instructor is lecturing. Another way that can help me stay focus is learning something that interest me, but that doesn't happen all the time.

-Aside from my current major in business, I would like to either minor or take a second major in film.
Spacial skills would best fit this major.
The sensory preferences that would best fit this major is probably tactile or kinesthetic learning.
Learning by doing is the experiential learning preference.
With my current style of learning this major might be acceptable for me.
Also, currently I'm doing visual learning with films and Tv shows to help get ideas for my short films/ videos

-of the 9 different areas of ability, i don't think would best represent me.
-the secondary preference that would best represent me is visual learning, since auditory learning is boring and can make me unfocused during a lecture.
- none of the experiential learning preference would relate to me either.

in class is always boring, especially when the instructor is lecturing. If I would just sit there to listen, I would probably fall asleep in a few minutes, but if i were to be either copying notes or listening to something that interest me then paying attention would be easier.

-My strength at managing time is being able to put together a schedule, but my weakness is maintaining that schedule.
-A bad habit i have is taking my time to do something, which waste too much time, while a good habit is eventually completing the task.
-With the Swiss-cheese approach, I plan on "poking holes in bigger tasks by working on them in small bursts", and by doing so I would be more focus and procrastinate on the tasks less. Those tasks are my group project for business class, my pairs article presentation for English class, and the outline of scholarly paper for MUSE class.
-Activities done more than 3hrs a week: watching TV, playing games, doing HW, & going on the internet.
About all my activities relate to my goal of having fun, instead of learning.

9/14 -Monday's Blog

By managing time correctly a person can become less stress. Having an electronic or written planner, spreading out big task into smaller parts, etc can help you manage your time to complete or do many things within a time set. When creating such a planner a help thing to do is prioritizing each activity to know which is more important than the other. Ways to stop procrastinating are organizing a planner, putting deadlines for important activities, breaking up a big activity into smaller ones pushing yourself, and encourage yourself.

For me, I spend too much time playing games, going on the internet, editing videos, and watching TV. I spend too little time studying for certain classes, so I'll to start studying soon or I might forget or fall behind in what is happening in class. I need to spend less time on the internet doing nothing important because that's my most time waster.

Tips & Tricks #3

Have interesting titles for you videos on youtube so people would be curious to watch.

MLK Library Tour

It was about the 1st time i had been to the library. We were shown how to look up books or e books in the library catalog, SJSU Research Topics, and or SJSU Research Topics, along with how to find them on the actual shelf and how to request it on hold. The SJSU Articles & Databases for online scholarly research, while the SJPL Articles & Databases for articles on general subjects. RefWork can help create a bibliography, etc for scholarly paper. Some services available for SJSU students are borrowing a laptop is needed, staying a few hours past closing time to continue there studies, and borrowing course material. Also, an interesting way to get help is by texting a librarian. Just before leaving I stopped by the front desk to sign up for a library card there.

-I don't live in the dorms but if i do, i would definitely have a roommate which whom i never met before an of a different race.With a roommate, who is different than me, I would fine common ground with him to be friends and settle disputes with compromises that would suit us both.
-Strategies of conversations I would improve on when talking to a new person is speaking a bit louder an clearer, and find interesting things to talk about to keep the conversation going.

Current Status on videos

Thanks to the family gathering, math HW, etc; the new videos I was hoping to do and finished before the end of the weekend, will be uploaded around this coming weekend.
The 1st video called Asian Forest Drama, I have started editing and it is will probably turn out okay or crap because of some of the in-experience blue screen and lack of music. While the 2nd untitled video will be started tomorrow after my last class of the day; it will be loosely based on a parody of the movie Saw, since Nigahiga & ShaneDawsonTV each did a parody of sorts based on the movie also.
