The inevitable rendezvous with Nicolas Messer

Nicolas MesserWelcome! Thank you for taking the time to visit my ePortfolio. This portfolio is divided into several sub-sections that represent the breadth of my experiences and influences that can give you an idea of where I am in my life. The content represent a mash-up from my academic, professional and personal life in recent years with which I hope will give you, the reader, a clear idea of who I am. With the assembly of these materials, I had the unique opportunity to step back and consider what I’ve done and reflect on my future projects, and share them with you.

In this portfolio you can also find my curriculum vitae. I consider the résumé as a document in a constant draft mode which with each change/update reflects my professional and personal development. So you’ll find all the new experiences as well as all the valuable experiences I have gained so far.

“Great men are not born great, they grow great . . .”
-Mario Puzo

Now all that’s left is to wish you a pleasant journey browsing through the different parts of my ePortfolio.

Holistic Learning – How to Study Better

Like anyone I’m interested in how I can “optimize” my time learning about new concepts in web development, programming languages, etc. Especially, since graduating, where the “traditional” studying is no longer part of my daily routine, I started to wonder what could help me be more “efficient” when learning about new things…that’s when I read about holistic learning.

About Holistic Learning

Holistic Learning - How to Study BetterHolistic learning is a process for learning more effectively. The concept for holistic learning came out of several small articles Scott H Young wrote beginning with a popular entry entitled, “How to Ace Your Finals Without Studying.” The main idea Scott presented was that some people effortlessly learn new concepts and material while others struggle. Scott believes that the difference between these factors is mostly due to a process called holistic learning.

As many people who read the initial articles on holistic learning commented, you may notice that your own learning style closely reflects holistic learning. Holistic learning isn’t a new technique or revolutionary idea. It is simply a way of explaining how smart people think!
