Institute itself was very interesting and I am grateful that I have to take it as part of Pathways, as I am learning new things about every aspect of the gospel that I didn't know before. I will post more later.
For the Pathway gathering, we discussed Disciple Leadership and also the steps of the Cornell Note Taking Method. A disciple is someone who commits to serving Christ and actually does it, as a commitment requires action before it can be considered an actual commitment.
We also learned about leadership with a small l and it is serving and loving as Christ did.
Three specific things we can learn from disciple preparation, according to President Uchtdorf, are:
1) Faith in Christ.
2) Faith is a gift from God.
3) Faith and preparation dispels fear.
There are three reasons why BYU-Idaho is a strong place to learn and grow, but I'm sure there are more..
1)It is a temple of learning.
2) It is next to the temple.
3) It is surrounded by strong stakes.
We then learned about the five steps involved in Cornell Note Taking which are 1) Record, 2) Reduce, 3) Recite, 4)Reflect, and 5) Review. The student who was teaching them had us practice these steps by telling us a story about Nelson Mandela, having us take notes according to the method, and then quizzing us according to the notes we had taken.
There are many purposes and reasons to use effective note taking skills, but the thing to remember is that one should always pray before studying in order to have the help of the Spirit.
