The Lecture Case

The Lecture we had today on the introduction to building environment was a bit confusing; nonetheless I still found some meaning to it. I had to make sure that I found a book that was able to give a more vivid explanation of the building environment lecture. My style of learning is such that after each lectures I have to set what I have been taught into practice for example in one class where we studied health and safety law I read a few journals which talked about its implementation and also wrote some blogs about it in some websites to be able to get the laws and principles stuck into my head.

In class my styling of taking down information is to briefly take notes in bullet style which can be easily expatiated on. I feel the art of taking information is much more of an individualistic thing; this is due to the fact that every individual has his or her way of processing information, I use key words which can easily cast my mind on a whole sentence or sometimes I use short acronyms in a form like an analogy so it puts into practice a whole sentence in an everyday life format and style.

This is very essential to me because after lectures I have a mixed blend of religious activities to attend and without proper time management I would probably fall short of finishing my assignments.

After each lecture I normally plan my time in such a way that I can have about 20mins each day to review articles from newspapers and journals, especially those pertaining to what we learned in class. Prior to my start of the week, I have in my diary made four section within which all my activities of that week must fall in, they are arrange in a chronological order of importance and how urgent they are, this guides me during the week as such I am able to go through all that I have to without skipping anything, at the end of the week I do a review and reorganize myself to do what I could not the nest week and if I was able to accomplish all my task I would then reward myself.

This gives me a pragmatic gist of how real life scenarios would be like in implementing the concepts learned in class, not only that but also give me a rough idea how certain concepts are critically used to solve problems in real world scenarios, not hypothetical scenarios that may exist in class. I also have a small book that I keep note of salient facts that I come across during class or during a group work. In one of my group works where we worked on the effects of the built environment and I learnt a lot even though I had some disagreements. Prior to our group work, I was mainly of the opinion that the built environment was overly positively impacted on human life as a whole, the
