C.O.P.E.R.

Welcome back to the Group Name Blogger's Blog (sorry about the name... we were a little rushed when we came up with it). Once again we are here to tell you about the learning strategies that we used this week. This week's learning strategies are all about PROBLEM SOLVING and I chose to try out the strategy C.O.P.E.R. in my CLS 105 class and in my ANT 111 class. I used L.A.M.E. to help me chose what strategy to use and for what classes I wanted to use them in.

L- (learner)- I am a visual learner so I needed a strategy that was some thing that I could see and hold in my hand. The C.O.P.E.R. strategy was perfect.

A- (action)- I decided to find a project that I needed to work on and a test that I needed to study for.

M- (materials)- My project was my Faculty Interview Project for my CLS class and my test was for my ANT class.

E- (evaluation)- I was able to complete my project and I will take my test next Wednesday and I am confident that I will do well.

If you are not familiar with the C.O.P.E.R. strategy, this is what it is. It is a chart that is divided up into 5 sections.

Current Condition
Options
Plan
Execute the Plan
Reflect

You then fill out the chart and your problems will be solved in no time.

My favorite thing that I did on my C.O.P.E.R. chart was my "Execute the Plan" section. I made a checklist with things that i needed to do and I also put the days that I would do them. It allowed me to visually see my progress and it made sure I was on track.

Here are my C.O.P.E.R. charts
