My+Thoughts+So+Far


 * Looking back on my first semester, I have thouroughly enjoyed everything that I have done so far. University is everything I thought it would be and more.


 * I've realised that I tend to leave work until the last minute before I start it. I need to get out of this habbit before the end of the year, and before my work starts to become more weighted towards my degree.


 * I tend not to ask questions to lecturers and tutors when I dont understand something. This has always been a problem of mine throughout my academic life, and will come back to haunt me if I dont address it sooner rather than later.


 * A lot of assessment at university comes in the form of essays. I have never been particularly good at writing essays, and find structuring them to flow all the way through difficult. Im going to have to attend some of the workshops put on by the [|Student Learning Centre]to address this.


 * I need to review lecture notes more frequently; recent lectures where we have been engaged more by the lecturer have shown me that i'm not retaining as much information from previous lectures as I should be.


 * Although I'm pleased with the results I got from my January exams, I feel I could have done better by doing more (and better organising) revision. To make sure I do my best in the summer exams, I think I should make a revision timetable for this easter holiday, especially as I have found the material in this semester a bit more challenging than the first.
