Identify the most common behaviors practiced by successful students.

How do you plan to incorporate i.f.a.l.c.o.n into your college educational goal?

(i.f.a.l.c.o.n) abreviation meaning for each letter is below…..what is each and how you plan to incorporate each into your college educational goal while at Cerritos College……1 page due in an hour and a half…..

So what are these habits of mind?

Identifying the skills and practices of successful students is not a very difficult process. They are well documented and readily available in a mature body of literature. A group of faculty members working on this project spent a good deal of time in the 2006-07 year reviewing the literature on student success to identify the most common behaviors practiced by successful students. Six core habits emerged from the review.

Note: As you read through the six core habits of mind, please keep in mind that these will seem obvious to you, but they are not obvious to every student.

  • Focus—Successful students focus on the work to be done. They are academically self-disciplined, spending appropriate amounts of time studying. They come to class on time and prepared. They complete all assignments and turn them in on time. They finish their programs.
  • Advance—Successful students advance by always improving. They embrace life-long learning. They understand that subject expertise requires a long-term commitment, and commit to ongoing development of thinking skills and learning skills.
  • Link Up—Successful students link up with the academic community. They get involved. They get to know their professors, study in groups, surrounding themselves with focused students and mentors. They use College resources and programs to help with their learning.
  • Comprehend—Successful students study for comprehension. They seek to understand course content rather than simply complete requirements. They ask questions to gain understanding, reflect on what they are learning as well as if they are learning.
  • Organize—Successful students are organized. They plan to succeed. They have an educational goal. They focus on their educational purposes, maintain a specific education plan, and choose classes with an intentional learning purpose in mind.
  • New Ideas—Successful students embrace new ideas. They are curious, seeking out new perspectives and skills. They transfer concepts to new contexts in order to solve problems. They integrate concepts and knowledge to form a greater personal understanding.

Reflect on how you have experienced some of these new food combinations in your own culinary experience.

The Influence of Geography on Cuisine
One aspect of geography that often gets overlooked is the impact it has on the food you eat. With today’s import and export of food from all over the world, in most urban areas you can expect a wide range of exotic fruits, grains, and spices to be available to add to your culinary adventures. You can make Thai food one day and jambalaya the next, and seldom worry about where to find all the ingredients.
But in the past, people based their cuisine on the foods they could produce or harvest locally. If you lived near the ocean, you would eat more seafood. If you lived in warm climates, you had an abundance of fruits and vegetables. If you lived in a colder climate with a very short growing season, you had a short harvest time, so you might pickle and preserve your foods to last through the winter. In this Discussion, you will think about and explain the influence different cultures had on local foods during a time when many cultures were converging in Middle and South America, and the impact that time period had on the foods of today.
To prepare for this Discussion:
• Review the image titled “The Atlantic Slave Trade” found on page 236 of The World Today.
• Read the Culture and Entertainment: Caribbean article from the Walden Library and the Columbian Exchange website.
• Locate and read an article on African food, or review the African food website located under the Learning Resources.
• Locate a South American or Latin American recipe that incorporates the traditional foods of the region and the non-native foods brought over from other cultures that impacted the area. If you do not have a favorite regional recipe already, you can choose one from the recipe website located in the Learning Resources area.

Consider the impact the slave trade and the Columbian Exchange had on the foods of Middle and South America. To assist your analysis, use the Caribbean Food Sources Word document located in the Learning Resources.
• Reflect on how you have experienced some of these new food combinations in your own culinary experience.
• Read the Discussion Spark topic, question, or comment posted by your Instructor in the Discussion thread on Day 1
With these thoughts in mind, respond to the Discussion Spark post by Day 3 with the following:
• Your recipe and an analysis of the culture from which each ingredient originated. Do the cooking methods for these ingredients come from the same cultures or different cultures?
• Using Google My Maps, create a map that shows where the food came from and why it is culturally and historically relevant. Share the link to this map in your post.
• Be sure to support your ideas by connecting them to the week’s Learning Resources or something you have read, heard, seen, or experienced.
FYI
Feedback from Professor FOR WEEK 2 ASSIGNMENT- PLEASE KEEP THIS IN MIND FOR NEXT WHEN THE FILM PROJECT WILL CONTINUE
Your paper was very well-written and provided a very thorough assessment of the demographic and environmental conditions in Germany and Russia, with particular attention to their respective capitals, Berlin and Moscow. From this, it appears that the thematic focus your global travel film project will be a combination of the main demographic characteristics and notable environmental challenges associated with your selected countries or cities around the world. Be sure to keep the same themes going forward, so that your film project will have a clear focus and a common basis for comparing and contrasting each region from week to week. Don’t forget to include at least two photographs that relate to your research findings and that would serve as prime filming locations. Google Street View can be particularly helpful for locating appropriate images. For example, in order to illustrate the problem of automobile pollution in Germany, one option would be to have your film crew visit one of Berlin’s busier highways. Then, you can include a screenshot image from Street View showing the highway. This would also allow you to mark the specific filming location on your map of Berlin using the Google Maps editing tools. Overall, you seem to be off to a great start with the project. I look forward to your next report! See the attached file for additional feedback and let me know if you have any questions.
