I enjoyed reading your blog post. I liked how you connected both school and life experiences to your learning journey. I found your comparison between learning in fitness and academics effective, it made the role of confidence in the ARCS model relatable.

I worry that the section on prior knowledge could go even deeper. I wonder if you could give an example of a university course where your tech familiarity helped you with the course material.

I also like that you included a personal photo, it makes your post feel welcoming. I wonder if adding one or two more images would help break up the text a bit more.

I enjoyed reading your blog post, Simon. It has a great balance of personal experiences and theory. I liked your description of the “Concept Book,” which is a creative way to process lecture material.

I worry that parts of your section on prior knowledge focus more on telling the story of the pandemic rather than tying it back to your current learning. I wonder if you could expand a bit more on how the hybrid experiences connect to your strategies today, maybe with a concrete example of a university course where those skills really helped.

I also like how your blog is structured with clear headings. I wonder if adding a couple of visuals, like a sample page from your “Concept Book” or a diagram, could make it even more interesting for readers.

I enjoyed reading your blog post. I liked the “tree of knowledge” metaphor for how you connect new information to what you already know. The image helps make your learning process easy to understand and memorable. I also found your example about studying CSC 320 with a group on Saturdays very interesting.

I worry that some sections, such as the ARCS model part, read more like a list than your personal reflection. I wonder if you could integrate another example from your own experience to make the points feel as personal as your story about React.

I also like how your post is organized with clear headings, making it easier to follow. I wonder if adding media, such as Youtube videos, could make it even more interesting.
