Blog #10 New Skills

Marshall Rudd 

One of the intellectual skills I have learned this semester has been reasoning. Then the second intellectual skills I have learned this semester is creative thinking. These skills are very useful, and I am very glad I have learned these skills this semester. I am glad I learned about reasoning because it is always good to learn about something in a logical way and it helps you through many situations and it helps you learn stuff in a better way. Also, it can teach you stuff about choosing the right things in situations and making the right decisions through reasoning. I am also glad that I learned creative thinking it helps me in many ways. Some ways it helps me is when I need an idea, I use it to help me create something new and it's always good to make something new or improved and that’s always good to make something new. It can also help you in situations where you are just stuck on something and then you can figure out a way to not be stuck and keep moving on in an efficient way. Last thing you can use it for is if you and a group are working on a project and are low on ideas in can help you figure out more ideas and get the project done successfully. These two skills will be helpful for me next semester because I know I will have to use them a lot in my next courses. 

One of the personal skills I have learned this semester is work ethic. Then the second skill I learned this semester is working in groups effectively. These skills will help me next semester in a major way. The first skill I learned is work ethic I used to be really lazy in high school when it came to studying and things like that but in college my work ethic has changed drastically. When I came to college, I decided to step up my game because I knew when I tried, I could do good in my classes. Work ethic is the most important skill because you need it for everything you do in your life. And then the second skill working with groups is also important for me. This is important because I am very quiet but when you are in groups, I enjoy working together better than by myself because there are more ideas between everyone. This skill will help a lot because many times you will work together in a group and its always good to have success when doing it. Also, this will help for next semester in my classes where we work in groups and it can help me in the future when I get a job and work with a bunch of people who have my job and collaborate on ideas and things. Overall both skills will make me a better and more efficient student next semester and help me get good overall grades throughout the year.
