Where to study:
It's best to study at a private, well lit, and quiet desk with no distractions.
Some Aids to Memory:
-Over-learn material
-Read, discuss, draw
-Categorize the info
Set Goals that are:
-Challenging
-Reasonable
-Specific
Short-Term Memory:
-Fragile
-Has limited capacity
-Can be tricked
Long-Term Memory:
-Procedural memory ("how" of memory)
-Declarative memory ("what" of memory)
-Semantic memory (recall basic facts & ideas)
-Episodic memory (recall personal life)
Master Memorization:
-Pay attention
-Impose organization
-Expand association

the class i stay in tuned the most is finite math & 2nd would be academic English. Since in finite math we take notes everyday, this makes it easier to stay focus in class. While in Academic English, there's always lectures and often I would get sleepy if it gets long and boring, except when there's in-class exercises to be done.
It's noticeable when a teacher stress on important concepts because he/she would either say so or use a different tone in his/her voice.

Behind LeWorksStudios (100+ word blog)
My youtube channel / account is LeWorksStudios and it's shared with my brother and cousins, whom you may have seen in most of our videos. About all the videos are comedic sketches and parodies, like Smosh and nigahiga. All video are edited by me, on either Sony Vegas Pro or Corel Video Studio Pro, I used to use Windows Movie Maker but when editing it kept on freezing and lagging, when editing I would do a bit everyday and usually it takes about a week or so if the video is short and don't have many shots. The camcorder used is a Panasonic HDD camcorder w/ 42x optic zooms. I usually get my ideas for a video and or script when in the shower, which may seem odd, but that's when I can easily think.
So far, this our most viewed video:
And this is our most recent:

when making decisions i would think about the outcome of my decision, and the pros and cons of it. Also, i would also ask others for advise to help aid in my decision making if the decision is complicated, since i don't want to regret my choice later on.
A decision i recently made was to get this track fixed gear bike online or not, and I had asked my cousins for advise about it, and in the end I bought it with no annoying regrets, except that it cost over $260

My Creative profile:
1. If I were to name a band, I would name it the Go Bros

3. I think there are 500 uses for a pencil
4. With stuff from the family's kitchen junk drawer, an instrument I would make..nothing since i don,t play any
5. For a costume party i would dress samurai
6. The theme i would propose for a sales campaign for my favorite shoes is "light".
7. A business i would establish that would help my classmates is a HW helps service, which a student would call for help on HW and a person would be sent to help him/her, it would be called Quick Finish
8. To help some one not fear failure, a strategy I would come up with is yelling at them till they are not afraid anymore.
9. To negotiate a late deadline for a paper with an instructor, I would hand him a clean new George Washington
10.I think there are 499 uses for a remote control unit

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

-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.

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.

What I like to do in my free time is having fun and entertainment of sort, like watching television, going on the internet, and playing games. But my favorite thing to do is make a new video for my youtube channel after thinking and writing up a new script. So, along with my main major in college, I want to major in film also, so I'll have to take all the film classes that are needed, especially the pre-requisite classes to take take the next class.
