Does multi-tasking give you a real or false sense of having accomplished something? Personally, I think that while multi-tasking does give a false sense of accomplishment.
As mentioned in the articles, most students multi-task by surfing Facebook, using their mobile phones or watching movies online while doing their work. These things were claimed to be important for these students as they think that through all these sources, they will be more updated with what's happening around, among their friends and not the school work.
As a student myself, I understand how does multi-tasking give me a false sense of accomplishment in work. It is because that when multi-tasking with all the social mediums while doing work, your will of accomplishing the task might not be as strong as when you first start doing your work. Attention will slowly drift towards things that you were multi-tasking on the other hand, like Facebook, text-messaginfg, chatting online with friends and etc, as a result, getting lazier to put in more effort in the work and to rush through it because you want to finish it soon and focus on what you're doing on the other hand.
This will inevitably let the students themselves to think that they had already completed their task when they actually have not done so.
Is learning 3D and Design different from learning programming, or is all learning the same? Why?Learning 3D and Designing is somehow similar to learning programming. For me, I think that both are teaching us how to design something. That is where I find that both learning processes are actually the same.
Learning 3D and Designing requires us to put in efforts in thinking how to design something good and how to make the design the best. Same goes to programming, we are going to program something for users which also requires us to put in effort in thinking how can we make a good program and what will make it a good program for the users. In both ways, we are going to
make something out, be it creating a useful program, nice designs or a 3D object that looks as if it's real.
The article states that "Learning is actually a very complex operation for an individual". Do you agree with this? Do you feel that you approach your learning in the best way - if yes, how, and if no, how can you change your work style?I agree that learning is actually a complex operation. No matter how easy the subject or module is going to be, it definitely requires learning before we can actually said that they are easy.
As we learn, we absorbed what the teacher is teaching, we sort all the things we absorbed while listening in our brain, then we understand after sorting out ourselves. All these are individual's work and may seems like an easy process, however, if there were to be distractions during the process, we might not be able to work all these out by ourselves in the brain.
To ensure that our learning will be the best way, we should not let things distract us during the process of learning and to do that, we have to set our strong will to just study and learn during the right time, it will make learning an easy process and not complex for ourselves.
What are your thoughts about the last paragraph in the extract?In the last paragraph of the extract, it mentioned that we, people, have to fit in to the team when it comes to businesses or the process of accomplishing tasks. This is because when we fit into the team, we will then have the opportunity to communicate with one another and being able to communicate with each other can be the key success in the process of accomplishing something.
With communications, we can understand more about what different people in the same team are thinking. Communication also allows us to persuade and convince people with our thoughts so as to let the whole team work together to achieve for the same goal which is to success.
Should your lecturers also focus on your work attitude, or just leave you to sink or swim on your own? Why?It's good that teachers are always concerned and willing to help students out during their process of learning. This can ensure that every students will be on par with one another in work and no one will be left behind. But often, students will take the help from the teachers for granted which led to students not putting in much efforts when learning because they know that even if they faced any problems, teachers will always help them. Therefore, I think that letting students to be independent in learning, occasionally, are good for the students.
Only when they start to be independent then they will understand that no one will be there to help them and will start to rely on themselves, hence, understanding how important is the process of learning to them.
