Week 6 Learning APA citations, the different format has taught me that there are different formats for journal, texts and references. Also I have learned how to navigate through the database of Galileo. I choose as my research Online Education in which I found several journals as well as texts. I also learned how to use a  guide to help me when researching of what direction I will start.  The Looney Tune  Visits Microsoft 2007 I thought was very interesting it has taught me as well on the making correction with the different citations as well as the article.

Looney Tunes Visits Microsoft Office 2007

On the Insert tab, the galleries include items that are designed to coordinate with the overall look of your document. You can use these galleries to insert tables, headers, footers, list cover pages, and other document building blocks (Fudd, 2009). When you create pictures, charts, or diagrams, they also coordinate with your current document look. You can easily change the formatting of selected text in the document text by choosing a look for the selected text from the Quick Style gallery on the Home tab. Buggs(2009) stated “You can also format text directly by using the other controls on the Home tab. “(2009, P. 14-15).

Most controls offer a choice of using the look from the current theme or using a format that you specify directly. To change the overall look of your document, choose new Theme elements on the Page Layout tab. To change the looks available in the Quick Style gallery, use the Change Current Quick Style Set command (Fudd & Buggs, 2009). Both the Themes gallery and the Quick Styles gallery provide reset commands so that you can always restore the look of your document to the original contained in your current template. On the Insert tab, the galleries include items that are designed to coordinate with the overall look of your document.

However, Coyote, W, E., (2009) found that you can use these galleries to insert tables, headers, footers, lists, cover pages, and other document building blocks. When you create pictures charts, or diagrams, they also coordinate with your current document look. You can easily change the formatting of selected text in the document text from the Quick Style gallery on the Home tab. You can also format text directly by using the other controls on the Home tab. Most controls offer a choice of using the look from the current theme or using a format that you specify directly.

Week 6

Week 5

In chapter 10, Preparing for Exams, I learned how to gather information before I study, such as knowing the level of questions that may be asked on the exam. I have also learned how to study by using the 5-day study plan. Recently, I have used the preparation and review strategy for preparing for an exam. For preparation strategies, I would make self-tests, make word cards, and take notes. For review strategies, I would take self-tests, recite out loud, and do "missed" problems. I have used study strategies, such as highlighting main points in a chapter. At the end, I would evaluate my preparation for an exam by doing a final review of my notes and the strategies I did.
In chapter 11, Taking Objectives Exams, I learned how to reduce test anxiety, use general test-taking strategies, use specific test-taking strategies, and learn from exams. As a student,  I have experience test anxiety because I think about the wrong possibilities, such as failing the exam. However, I learned how to cope with test anxiety by taking my time and taking deep breaths. Also, I learned how to not over think a question. I learned how to use general test-taking strategies, such as following directions, which is very important while taking an exam. I also know how to work systematically through the exam by answering the easy questions first and the hard questions last. Specific test taking strategies pertains to multiple choice, true or false, and math tests. I learned from exams by reviewing over the questions I answered wrong and knowing what to do differently on the next exam.
In chapter 12, Taking Essay Exams, I learned how to prepare for an essay asking the question, gathering information to answer the question, and organizing information. Also, I have learned to read directions before getting started on essay, therefore, I have some understanding on what I'm writing about. It's easy for me to organize my ideas before writing by creating an outline or web diagram. After organizing, I began to start my essay using transitional words and making sure I've supported the main points. In college, I know I'm being graded on the five factors, which are content, organization, format, mechanics, and neatness. These are the factors that will determine my grade on the essay.

Also reading on the S-Run-R Reading/Study System taught me how outline specific methods of studying.
