This is what started my mind going on what my learning style is. Through various exercises, I discovered that I am a GREAT visual learner. In other words, when learning something new or while studying, I remember things more readily when there is a visual along with the information.
Through another exercise, I found out that audio learning is not my thing. This could explain why I don't feel like I get much information from purely talking lectures. Sure, I find some of them interesting, but I don't retain what I hear.
Our last exercise showed that I am equally as much a tactile learner as I am a visual learner. This means I learn better and retain more with hands on projects. I have always loved 'getting down and dirty' and actually do something instead of just talk about it.
While studying, now that I know my learning styles, I will most definitely put them into action. I can study visually by drawing what I learn, looking up pictures that correlate with what I'm learning and use a whiteboard to visually put my thoughts on.
I can study using tactile methods by relating the information learned to direct objects, by building models and by creating a simple game to remember what I have learned.
This is Steven Brockshus and I am a visual and tactile learner.
