Learning Styles
My learning style is called multimodal so I use more than one kind of way to learn. The two ways I learn best are Kinesthetic and read/ write. I was aware of both ways of learning in some way but doing this quiz really helped pinpoint the strengths I have for learning. I really need to master these concepts for my major (Astronomy) to excel at it. Kinesthetic is learning by doing and read/ write is writing something over and over to get it. I usually ignored the read/ write type of learning when I was growing up because it took so much work to memorize certain things that it didn’t feel it was worth the while. I was upset because with drama I couldn’t use my strengths to memorize my parts for a performance. I want to learn ways to learn all sorts of different experiences with my strengths and not stress about my weaknesses. Memorization has to be the hardest concept for me I don’t know if kinesthetic or read/ write would help me more. I want to expand on both of these and master them. Drama isn’t the only subject I love that I cannot enjoy. Math needs memorization to a degree and an understanding on concepts you need to practice. I have a really hard time concentrating for a long period of time without getting distracted by my surroundings. Ideas for writing an essay come slow so I want to practice using the kinesthetic part of my learning to find easy ways to get my ideas down so I can make writing as painless and quick as possible. I enjoy writing, but it is difficult when I make mistakes on my last essay and don’t know how to fix it and make it better.
