Learning Style

You must include the assignment submitted in HLTH 101 regarding your Learning Style Self Assessment

  1. Describe your current methods of study. How do you study for each class? I study for each class by first, categorizing which classes I’m having the most difficulty with the ones where I don’t need that much help. For the classes I need more help in I will look over quizlets and little study sites that make it easier for me to learn information. For all of my classes, I look over the information that the professors have provided and some of my teachers have videos on a way to do certain things, like my chemistry class, so I’ll listen to videos. 
    1. What specific techniques do you use in class? The specific techniques I use in class are making sure that I’m paying attention, and taking notes on things that I feel are important. 
    1. What specific techniques do you use outside of class?  The specific techniques I use out of class are looking at the course material that the professor gave and taking notes on things that I may have missed in the class. 
  2. Identify one class in which you are doing well (not HLTH 101).   What study methods work best and why? I am doing well in the chemistry lab. The chemistry lab teacher is very hard to understand sometimes, so to study for that class I review the experiments beforehand and I look over the course videos. 
  1. Identify one class where you are experiencing challenges and address the following questions.

The class I’m experiencing challenges in right now is chemistry, the lecture class. I believe it’s because you basically have to learn everything yourself.  strategies I plan to use are going to more of the office hours and gathering study groups with the people that I know also have trouble in the class. I plan to study about 3 hours, about 3 times out of the week. I should spend more time on the lecture slides that are given. I am not struggling with my motivation to study, I am taking advantage of all resources that are given to me. I can get my confusion clarified by talking to my professors. I don’t have any confusion remaining, after I get the specific questions answered. 

  1. What is one new technique you could try in class to help you better understand the material? One technique I could try in class to help me better understand the material is having open communication with professors and active listening. 
  2. What is one new technique you could try outside of class to help you better understand the material? One new technique I could try using out of class is time management. I feel like I always don’t have enough time in a day to do certain things.
