After reading thru the material and taking the self assessment test I figured out what I pretty much knew already, I am more kinesthetic learner. I think most people are going to be some combinations but will go towards one style more than another. Figuring out what that style is and how they can utilize those skills to the best of their ability is the key.
I have been figuring this out for myself. I had tried taking Dendrology ( study of tress) on line at a different college and it just did not work for me. I had figured this was a just a class that needed to be hands on but now I realize it is just the easier way for me to learn. I took the class at MCC and aced it. There was alot of field trips with touching, visualizing and then also the use of flash cards to remember the scientific names.
Between this module, and my past experience, I am now trying to use those same skills in other classes that I struggle with. My newest trick was to utilize my Ipod as a recorder. I read my vocabulary words into it so I could listen to them and study at times that I may have just wasted, like my drive into school. I am excited about this and I think that is something to pass onto my tutees, find a way that makes the task at hand more fun and in the meantime we learn too.
