Learning Techniques

I took this class to learn how to maximize my potential as a student. One way to do this is by acquiring knowledge about what type of learner you are. One acronym that helps guide me is L.A.M.E. The L stands for leaner, the a for action, the m for material, and e for evaluation.

I am a kinesthetic learner. I learn best by actually doing something. Or, what also works for me is explaining the problem to another person and talking it out. I found that when I use visual tools as sort of a road map it really helps. I like when things are in front of me, it makes it easier on me to determine how to manage and most productively use my time. For some reason color coordinating also helps me remember to do things as well. I found that the fritter finder and chunks of 8 work most successfully for me. I feel that the D's dues is too rigid and way to scheduled. I don't know why, but for some reason I have never been able to follow a schedule, because I always hate feeling the pressure when I do not finish something on time. That is what brings me to my evaluation. I think the Chunks of Eight and Fritter Finder are so much better because as its not really a set schedule. You can incorporate trade offs and as long as you get either your 8 hours of everything you can fulfill the chunks of eight. Going along with that theme, if you just get everything completed in the Fritter Finder, it will help you be successful it does not have to be done to a T.

So, overall, I learned that the best learning techniques for me are the ones that are more freelancing and not rigid in the least bit. This is because I will not feel any anxiety if I do not perform a task at a specific time.
