Part Two 感悟
谈谈收获
花了两个半小时消化安妮的讲解,佩服惊悸雪人逻辑的缜密,更佩服安妮到位的梳理。抛开文章本身内容,行文结构需要仔细研究。谨记笃师教诲:“带着问题读”,比如说,任务说明里提供了一种通用的大思路,即围绕问题本质及解决方向探索;“常怀好奇心”,比如说,这篇文章主要陈述和分析问题,并未告诉读者解决方法,所以,针对此类启发式的文章,理解不代表结束,进行拓展阅读甚至主动关注、长期追踪该话题是我们努力的方向。当然看群里小伙伴说,通过阅读习得百科知识仅能了解各学科的皮毛,精通某一门学科才是王道,所谓广学不如深学,但我想在不具备专业研究学习的条件下,坚持点滴积累,从而找到自己的兴趣所在也会受益匪浅的。
军令状
已经到第三篇文章了,还没有正经严肃的写过关于内容的心得体会。下一篇一定要写!希望这不是在立flag.
