Reflection #2 Learning Styles

                        I always thought of myself as a visual learner, it turned out to be i was multimodal, which means I have strong preferences for more than one way of learning. I also ended up being kinesthetic as well, which means I can learn by live experiences and examples brought up to me, and I realized this was true.
                           As I grew up learning, various of things were taught to me in a visual, aural, reading, and writing way. I had trouble listening and focusing on what the teacher would say, so I figured aural learning wasn't the best way for me to learn. Aural learning has never worked so good for me, as of today I still doodle around class and loose focus very easily. Reading and writing learning has somehow improved my way of learning this year, having to read on my own for many of my classes has taught me to focus more and understand my reading better. For the writing part, I don't feel strong in that section because handouts aren't so good for me to understand the concept. As for visual learning I had strong preferences for, I believe if things are shown to me visually ill get the picture and understanding in a better way. Most of the time ill remember pictures and what they mean, and that gets me through most of my studying. The strongest way of learning for me was kinesthetic learning and I believe it's right. I always tend to make higher grades when leaning from a live experience. I get better understanding when a test or assignment is shown to me before the actual thing, because then ill know what the real thing will be like and what is expected to be known. Such as labs, they show me in a real way what everthing is about and how it happened, and I believe this way of learning is my strongest.
                      Overall, the method VARK showed me the methods of learning, and importance it carries. It also helps alot to know your strongest side of learning because that way you realize your strengths and weaknesses. Now I understand the learning styles better and take all of its information in consideration, they are very beneficial.
