My First Reaction: The ways of approaching learning is definitely a great way road to take in order to be successful. All of the tactics that were stated have to organized in a way to fit the students way of learning.
What surprised me about the article: I was surprised by the way the author made it seem so easy for a teacher to incorporate these habits into a classroom. A teacher must be well verse themselves, and they must actually use the skills themselves, and they have to know how to teach them to the students in a skill. Most of the tactics should start at home. There is not enough time in a day to teach these skills. This is a definitely a growing process.
I am interested in finding out the data from this research and I want to know if the writers of the article see that there is a disconnect with public schools and Universities expectation for writing. The public schools teach to a test (SOL) not traditional writing or preparation for a University.
Article Revisions: The article can be revised with ideas for the instructors on how to incorporate the habits in a classroom setting.
Teaching Writing with Technology: If I were teaching an online class, I would gear my assignments to force the student to practice these habits. During my discussion periods I would make sure that I ask questions that will ensure that the practices are being influenced. I have to first model and then my students will follow on how serious I am about the course.
