Unmudl Welcomes SUNY Broome to Digital Learning Network

<h2>Study Tip #4: Don&rsquo;t be afraid to ask for help.</h2>
<h2>&nbsp;</h2>
<h2>After my first year at college, I have learned that professors and Teaching Assistants aren&rsquo;t as terrifying as I initially thought.</h2>
<h2>&nbsp;</h2>
<h2>Rather than some distant, smarter-than-me-in-every-way person, my professors turned out to be extremely approachable and helpful.</h2>
<h2>&nbsp;</h2>
<h2>When I needed an extension on a paper or guidance outside of office hours, my professors were more than accommodating.</h2>
<h2>&nbsp;</h2>
<h2>I remember a particular assignment where I needed some advice on a paper, and my professor&rsquo;s office hours coincided with another class of mine. Instead of leaving me to fend for myself, my professor hopped on the phone and gave me a call that night. I asked for help, and I GOT IT.</h2>
<h2>&nbsp;</h2>
<h2>After getting over my fear of sending that slightly panic-stricken email, I reached out to my professors over and over again throughout the year and received nothing but support and positivity.</h2>
<h2>&nbsp;</h2>
<h2>So, the latest tip in the series: ask for help when you need it. Build a relationship with your professor (you never know when you&rsquo;ll need a letter of recommendation).<span class="Apple-converted-space">&nbsp;</span></h2>
<h2>&nbsp;</h2>
<h2>With the format of Unmudl allowing you to choose your own education style, it&rsquo;s easier than ever to reach out to professors when you need support.</h2>

Reaching Out to Professors: It's a Piece of Cake!

<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Nowadays, everything is online (even most of our classes, thanks Corona). That doesn&rsquo;t mean everything should be. Especially notes. I<strong>&rsquo;m a firm believer in the old-fashioned handwritten note!</strong></span></h2>
<h2>&nbsp;</h2>
<h2><a href="https://www.studyright.net/blog/handwritten-notes/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Experts agree with me</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. According to Professor Anne Mangen and neurophysiologist Jean-Luc Velay, handwritten notes are the way to go when remembering important information.</span></h2>
<h2>&nbsp;</h2>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Here&rsquo;s why: Handwritten notes engage more of your senses. The more physical activity while you learn, the more likely you are to remember that new knowledge.&nbsp;</span></h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">So, why doesn&rsquo;t everyone take notes by hand? The answer: convenience. It is so much easier to type away at a laptop or other device than write out every word or phrase. No one wants a hand cramp while trying to digest an essential lecture.</span></h2>
<h2>&nbsp;</h2>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">But, what I&rsquo;ve learned by taking notes by hand is that I can both retain the information better and better organize my thoughts than when note taking on a laptop. I can draw graphs quickly, sketch a cartoon to hammer home a concept, or switch colors without having to maneuver any keyboard shortcuts.</span></h2>
<h2>&nbsp;</h2>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Organization and retention. That&rsquo;s what you get when you spend that extra hand muscle taking notes with pen and paper.</span></h2>
<h2>&nbsp;</h2>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Why not give it a try with your next Unmudl course? You&rsquo;ll be pleasantly surprised with the results.&nbsp;</span></h2>
<p><br /><br /></p>

In Defense of Handwritten Notes

<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">It&rsquo;s Mackenzie back with study tip #2. This one is all about setting. When you&rsquo;re deciding to crack open a book and start reminding yourself of everything you could possibly know about Biology 101, it&rsquo;s important to consider </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">where </span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">you&rsquo;re going to study.</span></h2>
<h2>&nbsp;</h2>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Are you the most productive in a completely silent room? Can you handle music? What about the sounds of a coffee house? Can you study with friends or alone? These are questions you absolutely need to ask yourself so that you can make the most of your study time.&nbsp;</span></h2>
<h2>&nbsp;</h2>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you know you do better in quiet spaces, invest in a pair of noise-cancelling headphones so that any place can be your next study spot. This is ideal when you need to squeeze in some studying whenever you can manage the time.</span></h2>
<h2>&nbsp;</h2>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you prefer the loud bustle of a crowded bookstore or student center, find a video on YouTube that has coffee shop ambient noise. This helps out tons in the world of social distancing when crowded coffee shops may not be an option for you at the moment.&nbsp;</span></h2>
<h2>&nbsp;</h2>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you need to study with a group, try using Zoom! With screen-sharing abilities you can review lecture slides with your classmates and reward yourselves with each others&rsquo; company during your much-needed breaks.</span></h2>
<h2>&nbsp;</h2>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">No matter the setting you crave when you start to study, a little bit of creativity can help you achieve it. Now, there&rsquo;s no excuse for not studying!&nbsp;</span></h2>
<p><br /><br /></p>

Now Where Should I Study?

<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">People flex their muscles. People flex their brains. But after interviewing Navdeep Jassal, a category manager for Post Consumer Brands, <strong>I learned that flexibility extends to careers as well.</strong></span></h2>
<h2>&nbsp;</h2>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Navdeep started out at <a href="https://www.swcciowa.edu/">Southwestern Community College</a> in Iowa which she completed concurrently with high school. After graduating from university in just 3 years, she set out on the women&rsquo;s studies path where she spoke on panels about the women&rsquo;s right to choose. Her first career switch led her to California into the telecommunications industry and after the economic downturn in the wake of the September 11, 2001 attack, Navdeep found herself in the world of category management where she now works.&nbsp;</span></h2>
<h2>&nbsp;</h2>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Read on to see firsthand how community college allowed Navdeep the opportunity to be flexible in her career and succeed along the way.</span></h2>
<h2>&nbsp;</h2>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Q: Can you tell me about your experience at community college?</span></h2>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">A: I started to go to community college while I was still in high school which allowed me to continue to stay engaged since the coursework had gotten old and tired. Community college allowed me to meet older people and hear about their paths and journeys and how they got into higher education, which was extremely inspiring.&nbsp;</span></h2>
<h2>&nbsp;</h2>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Q: How did community college aid in transferring credit to career?</span></h2>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">A: Community college allowed me the flexibility to do all these things and try all these different paths over the years from women&rsquo;s studies to analytics for Post. <strong>Community college was my foundation.</strong></span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /><br /></span></h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Q: What can we do to check our biases about community college?</span></h2>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">A: Think of community college as what it is: an opportunity. It helped me get ahead - a big WIN for me. In fact, I recently bought a new car for myself and the guy who sold it to me was considering community college. I encouraged him to start out at a community college and get his feet wet and figure out what he liked to do. He&rsquo;s taken me up on it. Him and I have stayed in touch. I&rsquo;m always around to mentor young people.&nbsp;</span></h2>
<h2>&nbsp;</h2>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Community college is more than just credits on a transcript</strong>. It is an opportunity to figure out what your interests are and give yourself the flexibility to explore all paths available to you.</span></h2>
<h2><br /><br /></h2>
