My Learning Profile

            It is hard to believe but you can figure out what side of your brain is more dominate by knowing your dominate eye, ear, hand and leg. It's strange but surprisingly true. By knowing this I was given a letter which represented my learning style. My letter was A and I was also given a profile that gave me more information about myself. From this I learnt that...


1. I learn best when I pay attention to the details. I need to read and be able to understand the details before I am able to fully understand the main idea.


2. I need to work on connecting to information emotionally. When reading a book for pleasure I am able to feel emotion. But when it comes to text books and more non-fiction type books I am  usually unable to connect with it emotionally


3. A strategy I have to help me in my learning is to learn how to manage my time better. I tend to get distracted very easily. One way to help me manage my time is to learn how not to procrastinate.  I will try to put off doing things (eg. Homework) which only wastes more time. I also need to learn how to prioritize. I will try and do things in order of how important they are. For example if I have something due tomorrow and something due the day after tommorow, I will do the assignment that is due tomorrow first.


4. I would like my teachers to know that I prefer to work alone on projects or assignments. I usually end up doing most of the work. People know that I will get the job done anyway and by knowing that they tend to think I will do the work for them.
