Chapter 5
Reflection




Before reading chapter 5 I already knew about the foundations of previewing any text. I knew the simple things like using prior-knowledge to figure out what type of information the text will have. Also how to use the title, the organization, any visual aid, and looking at the back cover of the text to be able to understand what is going to be in the text. I want to learn more about using these skills to be able to actively answer question and to be able to write about the subject without having to read the whole text. I learned that using guide questions help focus on what we need to learn and remember. Also that highlighting the answer to your guide question help for further studying at a later time.

Reflection



Before reading this selection I didn't know about power foot devices and how the founder is Hugh Herr. I want to learn more about the impact that these devices have on the lives of disabled people. I learned that Hugh Herr has been able to help make the lives of disabled people much more easier with these devices allowing them to do things that they couldn't do before.I still want to learn about how they were able to use biomechatronics to be able to come up with the power foot devices for disabled people. I also want to learn about the way that they tested the devices on peopl and the effects that the testes have on the progression of the development of the device.

                                       Stop Asking Me My Major

Before reading this chapter I didn't really know how changing your major could really impact you later in life. This chapter has taught me that it is very important to pick a major that you know for sure will interest you because it doesn't always benefit you to change. I want to learn more about what to do if you get stuck between majors and how to explain to your parents that it's what you want to be and not what they want you to be. I also learned that it's very common for students to change majors during their freshman year of college because of their parent's advice. I still want to learn more about the effects of college majors on parents.
