Hi everyone,

We're past the first half of the course. Sure seems to go fast under the
quarter system.

MODULE 6

With Module 6 we'll be switching from strategies to help you become or stay
motivated over to strategies to help you be more effective and efficient
with academic tasks. The first of these is a Q&A (Question & Answer)Outline.
Many students have difficulty understanding what to do to construct a Q&A
Outline. The attached notes lecture notes may help.


PORTFOLIO 6

Portfolio 6 requires you to type out notes from a class and write a Q & A
outline from them. You will be graded on the 20 questions that you write (12
RF, 4 RC, 4 RS). The directions translate into 4 pages of typewritten notes
with 5 questions per
page. What you actually need is enough material to generate the 20 questions
of the types required.

Please number your questions and answers as separate series (e.g. RF1,
RF2,RC1, RC2, and etc.), both in your notes and on the separate Q&A outline
page. Use a different font or color for these labels in your notes so that I
can easily identify them. By definition, you cannot find answers to
Reasoning Questions in your notes and I do not expect to find these answers
underlined. However, I do expect you to provide answers for them and you
will loose points if you do not.

If you do not have class notes from a current course, you can use last
year's, borrow someone's, or even go online and google words like "class
notes for (name of class you might be interested in)" or "lecture notes...".
Many instructors, in different universities, put their notes online, and if
you find them online you don't have to type them out yourself.

Rick
