In my continuing series of basic college study tips, I’ve decide to write about the different types of learning styles that college students have. I have gotten quite a few students who have been utterly frustrated with school simply because they weren’t taught in the right way and haven’t realized their own learning style. Many college students are unaware of the different types of learning styles and they use a study methodology that does not take advantage of that particular style. Although there is some debate over the different types of learning styles, in my opinion there are 4 major types of learning styles, visual, auditory, sequential and kinesthetic and one minor type, sociological.
Visual Learning Style
Visual learning style is the most commonly used in western education, the professor writes something on the board and you look at it. This is the most popular way of learning due to its ease of implementation. You can have one teacher stand up and give a lecture that can be recorded and beamed to an innumerable number of students which is why it’s such a contemporary favorite in universities today. However, many students find this method difficult to master as they feel more at ease with other learning styles. Other students don’t even realize that there are other possible ways to learn, I’d suggest you test each of the following different types of learning styles to see which one is the best fit for you.
Hello Fellow Students!
Hello all, today I’m going to explain why studying too much is actually turning you into a dumbass and an all round boring person. I use to study quite a bit (about three hours a day) and this produced a solid B- average and a stressed out university student. What’s more, I was amazed when some of my fellow students didn’t study much at all and were getting much higher marks then me. I initially just thought they were smarter than me. When I later realized that success in University had nothing to do with intelligence, I then started studying how they were doing so well and I was doing so badly.
