Chapter 6 Case Studies Questions and Answers

When an Instructor Moves Too Slowly

1. How else could Sean have adjusted to his instructor’s teaching style?
He could also anticipate what the professor might say next. Or maybe ask a specific
question on the topic if he got confused. In other terms, he needs to engage himself to the
lecture so that he would not doze off.
2. Should Sean respectfully communicate his concerns to his instructor? What would
be the benefits of doing so?
Yes, he should. Communicating with the instructor will clear your concern obviously. It
will make things flowing for you. Maybe that concern has become an obstacle for you
and you can't move on. It would also help your classmates who might have the same
concern as you but they're too shy to communicate with the instructor. It would also show
the instructor that you are paying attention to the class.
3. Course textbooks often come with online access codes that allow students to use
relevant study and practice materials that are not on the syllabus. How should a
student approach this material? Can it be helpful in mastering the course’s
material?
Even if it is not on the syllabus these online materials would help us in our studies. Some
have quizzes to test ourselves. Some also have case studies to see if you can comprehend
and apply what you have learned or maybe a preview for the lesson. All these things are
helpful in mastering the course.

Chapter 6 Applications

1. Group Exercise: Using a highlighter, read the first five pages of this chapter and
highlight important passages following the guidelines given in this chapter. Then go
back through these pages, looking only at what you have highlighted, and mark with
a large asterisk one key concept that would most likely be on a quiz covering this
chapter. Finally, get together in groups of three or four students and compare what
you have highlighted and marked with the asterisk. Talk about how you know what
is most important here.
a. The most important in my perspective is the technique LISAN and Learn. That is
because in my Anatomy and Physiology class, the lectures are all recorded, and I
must take notes of what the instructor is teaching. This will be on the test because
it is an important guideline for when we actively listen. And as proof for that, it
appeared on the test recently.
2. Analysis Exercise: Select a few pages of notes you took in one class session of a
different course at any time before reading this chapter. Examine these notes to see
how well they follow the guidelines suggested in the “Take Notes in Class” section of
this chapter. What could you have done differently to improve the process of taking
notes in class and the resulting notes?
a. My notes were almost following the suggested guidelines. I just didn’t have
personal application on some of them. If I was to do something differently, I
guess I would add more personal application and maybe a different note-taking
method. The method I’m using works best for me now, but it is kind of messy, but
I swear it’s organized. I just want to make it neat so I would not be disturbed by
how bad it looks.
