I think you ask a very important question that can benefit the rest of the students. First I applaud your humble response. You made me feel much better as I too have been experiencing the same level of difficulty in keeping up with personal demands and school. I would like to send you prayers and positive thoughts to keep going forward. You’ve accomplished so much thus far and the reward will be worth it.
Now moving back to addressing your question. I’m not sure if my response will be helpful but I will do my best to respond. I see you are looking to have the following questions answered: Do you have a mental method, or another method of following all of the concepts and hypotheses being introduced?
In thinking about your question I can relate a personal experience that helps me. I’m not sure however if this will be helpful in your circumstance. In my experience I have more exposure to qualitative research as opposed to quantitative when it comes to my work or school experiences. I feel like informally in life, though we are exposed to both qualitative and quantitative research if we look closely. For example, I mentioned that in my work and school interests I have experience in more qualitative research. At home however I have a child with a disability that is in a program that is dependent on data or quantitative research. When I’m finding a topic difficult to understand or foreign, I try and put it in the context of what I do know in order to make sense of it all. It also helps me to stay focused by engaging my own personal thoughts. I find if I can relate the material to a personal experience I will also be more likely to remember the material. I won’t lie it does require my extra care and attention and can be frustrating at times. Unfortunately though, like in life there are times when we have to learn and understand the material. I believe we all have gifts in life where our strengths and weaknesses will shine through. Just because it is a weakness though doesn’t mean we are incapable.
Best of luck ACHSAHS-SPRINGS with your continued learning.
