---------begin hypothetical sample----------
After reading the chapter thoroughly, I did about 80% of the exercises at the end of the chapter (sometimes I had to go back and re-read sections of the chapter to answer them). I started the lab exercises in AE Stacks, but only got through the first part before getting stuck. Then I looked up a magazine article from the Additional Readings section and got some further insights there--in fact, the author of the article disagreed with the authors of our text about whether the loss of arithmetic and spelling skills is a bad thing for society. So, to get another opinion I did an InfoSeek search on the web and found a URL that reports on a study about deteriorating arithmetic skills in kids due to omnipresence of calculators. And last, but not least, I had a one-hour discussion about the chapter material (especially the Review Questions on page 9) with three of our classmates which we have continued by e-mail since then.

This sample shows the student has significantly interacted with the material but still has some left to learn. In this case, for example, the student may go back a couple of days later and re-read the section. Notice also that this student hasn't finished the labs--she is waiting for some help on them from Larry in class. This student's learning style emphasizes some activities more than others, and she engages in those activities that help her most. The learning activity report doesn't need to include your reading notes or the answers to all the exercises; just report on the activities you engaged in by way of summary.
