    Reading as Part of Writing

To improve your writing through reading we can do an approaching reading, choosing your reading for an assignment, working with your reading, thinking about the different text, reading and note taking, making mind maps from reading, keeping records, making meaning through reading and reading your own and other students' work. These steps will help you to discover new ways of tackling the reading that you have to do for your studies.

Firstly, by approaching reading, in reading we are familiar with skim-read, managing densely written so it is easier to read, but actually, skim-read is not always made easier it is not a useful strategy for reading as a student, in some circumstances may well be used, for example, skimming through a newspaper article, or skipping through a novel. You may also be used to skim-reading when you’re surfing the Internet. So now, instead of skim-reading you will be developing ways of concentrating on large chunks of quite dense text and making sense of them. Even though you may only be concentrating for short bursts of time, it is likely that you will find it necessary to concentrate more intensely than you usually do when you are reading.

Secondly, choosing your reading for an assignment, some students may have difficulties choosing their reading for analyzing their assignment with their unknowledge they choose inappropriately and end up with a not suitable answer for their question, it was really important for us to choose the right book. You can do is to consult the reading list for books and articles and do a library search.

Thirdly, working with reading, most students have the same difficulties one is struggling with the ways in which things are written and the other is the length of time that things can take to read, and they are surprised to repeat reading the same material but actually in academic themselves it necessary to ‘repeat-read’ articles and books, By doing it, it will help you to understand the content so you will get more information in it.

Last, thinking about the different texts, If you can see why you find reading a particular article, chapter or book difficult – in other words, what it is about the text and your reading of it that makes it hard – then you are halfway to solving the problem. Think again about why a particular piece of reading seems difficult. For example, you may disagree with the ideas expressed in the text and therefore become irritated or bored when reading it. If this happens try to use the text constructively. Examine what it is that you do not like about the text. Sometimes you will find yourself having to read a text that you just do not get on with because it is essential reading.

Reflection 5: Video "Stop Doubting Yourself and go after what you really, really want"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmeOX5Zu36M

Doubt has nothing to do with preparedness, experience or skill.

Doubt just make you obsessing over how you will do, how you will look and what others may think. it just will make you look stupid Every human being has something that he is more than other people. Just find what it is and STOP comparing yourself with others. Life goes round, life goes on.

Just work hard and make you tired until you can't think negative things

It's the psychological equivalent of navel gazing.

If you want to stop doubting yourself, stop thinking about yourself.

Instead, place your full attention on the person in front of you, the problem you are trying to solve, or the task at hand. Simply be fully present in what you are doing, not how you feel or how you look and at some point you will lift your head up from what you are doing and wonder to yourself where your doubt has gone. and be postive to people around you, Surrounding yourself with positive people can overcome insecurity. The people you spend time with can influence your thoughts and attitudes about yourself more than you realize.

So pay attention to how other people feel about you. If you feel bad about yourself after hanging out with a certain person, maybe it's time to say goodbye and stop hanging out with them.

Reflection 4: Video "How Study Abroad Can Chanhe Your Life"

Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BcaB4PiecU

After watching the video I realized that if you want to go abroad, you not only have to prepare financially, but also our health, physical, mental, you have to know very well what country you are going to not only you go there and study . from studying abroad you will get some very useful experiences in your life that no one else can. Studying abroad is one of my wishlist, I was inspired by my senior named Asep Budianto after I met him when I was in high school, that day I asked so many questions about going to study abroad and at that moment I realized that i have to go study abroad but i don't know where to start so i am looking for an exchange scholarship which is still in Indonesian territory as a trial for an overseas exchange

Reflection 2

       Before we started the project we held a meeting with our lecturer, he gave us options for the next group presentation project namely, Post-pandemic era education, Community education 5.0, Growth mindset: why is it important?, Cultural research in university life, Promoting the use of gadgets  healthy. We had difficulty in choosing a presentation theme so we decided to take that theme by wheel spin and get Research Culture at the University and start looking for the meaning of research, the bad and good sides and the importance of doing research, and we came to the conclusion that Research culture includes behavior, values, expectations, attitudes  , and the norms of our research community. It influences the career path of the researcher and determines the way research is conducted and communicated. This research will give effect to our society, university, and develop material knowledge. Although for them you have to take some risks which might be the downside of the research. But the good side of cultural research illustrates how important this activity is to us.

Reflection 1

       During the discussion, we got different responses about what critical thinking is among university students.  From the discussion, we found various new ideas and ideas about critical thinking from different opinions that can develop our insight.  With the discussion we can easily convey our understanding and ideas. In conducting discussions, we apply an attitude of mutual respect and respect for the opinions of other members.  Discussion can also be the beginning of critical thinking because we are forced to develop and express the power of thought, knowledge and experience so that critical thinking occurs.  However, the discussion is too monotonous because there is only one direction where there is no interruption, only a statement of agreement from every opinion expressed, but still with this modest discussion can add to our insight during the discussion.

       From the last discussion I concluded, critical thinking is thinking fundamentally and deeply with a flexible mind, with an open attitude, asking ourselves about this and that and after that we can process the situation and interpret it, by asking small thoughts it can become wider,  for something else.  Critical thinking is not only important for students but everyone needs it, critical thinking is not a must to learn, but is ingrained. We can use critical thinking not only in critical situations but sometimes in some cases in our daily life we need it to make decisions what action we should take, what will happen next if we take this decision, and also critical thinking  can help us avoid hoax news, scams and don't trust some information easily.

      The nature of Critical Thinking can arise from our doubts about some of the information we get, we can't believe absolutely anything and anyone until we reach the point of believing in an information, to reach the point of believing we can't just appear right away it has process.
