Your First Post:
Search “learning styles quiz” in Google to find a quiz to take assessing your learning style(s), or, go to the following link to take the learning styles quiz that is provided:
The VARK questionnaire: How do I learn best? (2017). http://vark-learn.com/the-vark-questionnaire/
This self-evaluation will help you to understand how you learn most effectively. The results of your evaluation are given after you complete the questionnaire. Then discuss the learning preferences indicated. Do you agree with this assessment? What is your preferred style of studying and learning? What does not work for you? Discuss any observations you have in how others learn (friends, children, coworkers).
Your Subsequent Posts:
Read through the responses by your peers and post responses of at least 100 words to at least two classmates’ posts—critiquing and giving advice. Bring in ideas/comments and/or research/readings not mentioned yet.
Remember: To receive full credit in this forum, you need to post a minimum of three quality posts (your own initial post, and responses to two classmates).
