From reading your responses here are some observations that I'd like you to address in your response:
- is memorizing the same as learning?
- should you have a good idea of how you learn?
- are some people born with certain talents and abilities?
- what does the statement "D's get degrees" mean versus the idea that requirements set benchmarks for acceptance?
Memorization is also a way of learning. By memorizing you can always know what to do. I think that how you learn depends on how you know or learn how to learn. There are some good habits too. In my opinion when it comes to learning, people can’t be born with it. It just happens on its own. No one is born on knowing how to learn, they just do it. I think that means that you can get D’s and still get a degree, but if you wanna make it big in life, you’d best go by whats required and have a better future.
ReplyDeleteI think memorizing is kind of like learning. When you learn something it comes from repetition. Memorizing is just remembering what you looked at. If something changed then you would be lost. I think each individual should have a good idea how they learn since they go through that process everyday in school. I do think people are born with certain learning habits because while you are in the womb you listen to peoples voices and that’s how you learn who everyone is. So listening is a learning ability that you have before you are even born. The statement “D’s get degrees” means that you only have to get a D to pass in school. It doesn’t necessarily mean that those are to benchmarks that should be passed to get into a good college.
ReplyDeleteI’m not really sure if memorizing is the same as learning. I mean in most cases you memorize things to learn them. But in definition they are two entirely different things. Memorizing is when you go over a concept multiple times to learn it and learning is when you can be asked something that you learned five years ago and you still can do it. So I guess there not really the same thing but they most definitely depend on one another. Yes you should have a good idea of how you learn or you’re basically not learning. In some cases I do believe some people are born with talents and abilities but I do believe that you can practice and learn how to gain those abilities and talents that you don’t have. D’s get degrees basically mean that if you earn a D in classes or all of your courses then eventually you will get a degree. Requirements set benchmarks basically mean that you have to earn it like have a 3.5 GPA to get into a school. These two different ideas basically mean that you either earn what you get or effort is the way of achieving it.
ReplyDeleteIs memorizing the same as learning? Yes it is, because you have to learn it first to memorize it. Like babies they learn something then they memorize it. Do I have a good idea on how I learn? Yes I do how else people learn things in the future. You have to know how you learn so you can continue to learn in the future. Are people born with certain talents and abilities? Yes people are born with talent and abilities for certain things. For example, my nephew was born and after he turned one he had a really good arm for his age. He can throw very far for his age. The D’s get degree is just passing. That is what you need to pass a class. But to get into a college or something you need more than a D GPA.
ReplyDeleteI think that memorizing may be the same as learning. It could be the same because some people actually learn by memorization. At the same time memorizing is different than learning because memorizing is basically just remembering stuff. Learning is gaining knowledge and using it. Memorizing is like being able to recall that information. I think you should have an idea of how you learn to maximize your knowledge in a way that you could understand. I think everybody is born with some type of ability or talent but some people may just have to work a little bit harder to bring it out. The statement “D’s get degrees” means you only have to get at least a D to pass in school. To do better I think people should strive to meet all requirements instead of taking the easy road and getting the least of the requirements.
ReplyDeleteI think that someone should be aware of the way they learn. If you know what helps you to learn then you should be able to learn better. The statement "D's get degrees" means that as long as you make the mark with a “D” then you are passing that course. With that statement some people feel that they don’t have to work hard as long as they are able to maintain a “D”. When it comes to entering a college they look at grades and if you only making D’s than that says something about you and your potential. I guess in a way memorizing is a part of learning. When you learn you must be able to remember the things you are being taught therefore you memory kicks in
ReplyDeleteto be honest i think that memorizing is the same as learning. if you memorized it then you learned it because memorizing is when you can constantly remember something and repeat on command. if you remember it then you learned it because learning is understanding. you should have a great idea of how you learn because once you know how you learn then you know how to put things into your perspective so you can understand it better. i feel that certain people are born with certain talents and abilities. some people are just born able to be good at something. i think that statement about d's is just rediculous
ReplyDelete-Memorizing to me is similar to learning is some way. Learning is all about retaining information and you must retain information to memorize.
ReplyDelete-I think you should have and idea of how you learn because if you do have an idea you know ways to learn quickly and that will help you.
-I do feel that some people are born with certain talents and abilites but people who aren't might be able to obtain these abilities.
-This statment means that you dont have to be the best academically to graduate but you should want to be educated and get the highest grades possible.
I don’t think that memorizing is the same as learning but I do think that it is very similar because you are embedding the idea into your mind. You should have an idea of how you learn because when you want to learn about something that is of interest to you should try and learn it in the best way that you can which is why you should know how you learn. No, I don’t think that some people are born with certain talents and abilities, I believe that people develop these through the things that they do. It basically means that one of these statements aren’t true because they one prevents the other from happening in my opinion, but then again it could all mean that as long as you work hard, you’ll get where you want to be because those D students might have changed their mindsets afterwards.
ReplyDeleteI dont think memorizing is the same as learning because you cannot grow from memorizing you can grow from learning but memorizing is hard to grow from and to further teach. Of course because that means when you want to learn something new you have to know which method is most effiecnt. I strongly believe some people are born with abilities and others can create them. When you get D's get degrees means you are settling for the minium. while gettin the requirment means you have to put in some effort.
ReplyDeleteFor the first question I will have to say, yes, memorizing something does have to do with learning and in my opinion it is the same thing. For the second question I would have to say that i do have a good idea on how i learn. I can learn doing many things, but the best way to learning would have to be hands on, visual learning. For the third question i would have to say that babies are not born with abilities and talents, they learn it as they go through life. And finally for the last question i would say the D GPA is considered passing but even though you can get a degree it doesntt mean that you will be able to get into a good college or get a good job with the grades and effort that you gave.
ReplyDeleteMemorization is really good to learn how to do when learning in class. By memorizing while studying you should have the ability to pass almost every test you’re faced with. Therefore, I do think memorizing is the same as learning in the sense that if you learn in order to show case that you learned the information you have to memorize it. Yes I do believe that certain individuals are born with talents and abilities that help them with succeeding in their education. I’m not exactly sure what “D gets degrees” means.
ReplyDeleteMemorizing in my opinion is not the same as learning because you might just memorize some vocabulary words just for the test that doesn’t necessarily means that you learn them. You just memorize them just for the occasion and once you take the test you forget them pretty quickly, of course having a great idea of how you learn can be very helpful. For example if you use cards to memorize some vocabulary words then do it. It is very helpful that everyone knows how they learn because that is how it might help them to succeed. I don’t believe that people are born with talents; I believe that people develop a talent. Like people say “practice makes it easy” that means the more you practice on something, the easier it gets, and to others, it looks like talents. The Ds degree to me looks like you can slide through school with Ds but if you seriously want to move on and go further, you would have to do some serious of hard work.
ReplyDeleteI do not believe memorizing is the same thing as learning. Just because a person memorizes something doesn’t necessarily mean they learned. I can memorize a vocabulary list of words but it would be pointless if I did not know the meaning to the words. A person should have a good idea of how they learn. They should be able to develop different techniques or know what technology to use to help them. I can’t really say if a person is born with a certain talent and abilities, although I do believe it can be developed overtime. I don’t know what D’s get degrees mean. If I had to make an educated guess I would say it mean a person has to work hard and meat all requirements whether it be right or wrong. It differs from the idea of setting benchmarks for acceptance because it makes people more competitive.

ReplyDeleteMemorizing and learning are not the same but memorizing is a process of learning. For instance kids that are learning their times tables memorize the first few multples and that helps them learn how to do larger numbers. I think that you should have an idea of how to learn if you are trying to teach because that reminds you that all people learn differently. You should know how people learn so that those that you teach and comprehend and retain the information easier. Some people are born with certain talents and skills but other may learn a talent or skill as they grow. I've never heard that statement D's get degrees but I know that does not go in my house because if I bring home D's I get in trouble.
ReplyDeleteWe learn in a myriad ways, the most significant way is to incorporate repetition says the old saying “repeat till learning takes place”. In learning the world around you, as we learn we are memorizing the ins and outs of the problems and ways to solve them. In other words we memorize from past experiences how to confront the situation. For example when have trouble with a math problem, we continually go over the notes. The point is if you don’t repeatedly do it you’ll never fully understand it and if you don’t fully understand it than have you have never learned it.
ReplyDeleteBut repetition isn’t the only way to learning; people are born with different abilities. For example people have the ability of photo memory where they don’t really study what’s in the notes to learning it but to just remember what they saw.
In my opinion memorizing is not the same as learning. When you just memorize it doesn’t really sink in, it’s just there for the time being. Rote memorization is not the way to go because eventually you’re going to forget but if you actually learn something it’s there forever. You indeed should have an idea of how you learn so you can avoid any problems that will negatively affect your learning process. In my opinion if people can be born with certain learning disabilities then it is possible for people to be born with certain learning abilities. D’s get degrees would not apply to competitive majors such as nursing so you have to be careful with that.
ReplyDeleteI dont believe that memorizing is a way of learning. I dont think you can actually understand and know how to get something by just memorizing a certain problem. I do believe that everyone should have some type of idea of how they learn and remember different things. By knowing how you learn you can build a learning plean to better help you. I do believe that people are born with talents and abilities.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, memorizing is not the exact same as learning but it is a part of learning. If you're able to memorize the materials that was taught, it would help you learn. It would be a good thing to know how you learn. If you personally know how you learn, it would allow you to know what learning and studying strategy works best for you so your learning and study abilities wuold be more efficient. I believe some people are born with certain talents and abilities. For example, some people singing is not very pleasant, while others are born with amazing singing ablilities. The statement "D's get degrees" meaning that you can have a degree in your major with a passing grade.
ReplyDeleteI think that memorizing and learning are two different things. To memorize is to review something over and over again until you know it which is usually forgotten easily, and to learn is to take time to analyze and study something in more than one way in order to know it and not forget it easily. I think that we need to have a good idea of how we learn because if we do not know how we learn we will not be able to learn anything or the learning process will take longer to accomplish. I think that we are all born with talents and abilities but some people draw more emphasis to it than others do. But I also think that some talents or abilities that only some people seem have because of where they live, how they’ve been brought up, or even by their family history. I think that "D's get degrees” versus the idea that requirements set benchmarks for acceptance means that we as a society contradict ourselves and do not even know what we want . I think that we can’t live off of "D's get degrees” because that will never get us anywhere, it is better to set benchmarks for acceptance because it helps us set goals for ourselves. :D
ReplyDeleteMemorizing is not the same thing as learning because learning is a process of attaining information and applying it but memorizing is just reciting information presented to you.
ReplyDeleteYou should have a good idea of how you learn because if you have a good idea, then you will be able to learn in a custom that is most beneficial to you.
I do not believe that some people are born with certain talents and abilities. I do believe that there are traits passed on through genetics that increases a child’s ability to attain and process more information but I do not believe that a child is born with natural, raw talent.
The expression D’s get degrees means that you do not have to be first in order to be successful. The requirements set benchmarks for acceptance are guidelines each applicant must adhere to, if failure to comply with the guidelines, one is at risk for dismissal. The D gets degrees give more room for meritocracy and inferiority.
