Get Better Grades by Using Your Senses

So, I'd always heard, everyone learns differently. That is, the way we best absorb and understand information happens in a different way for every person because we are all unique. According to what I know, there are four different learning styles. They are visual, aural, read/write, and kinesthetic. Visual is for people who like to see things, not just hear them explained or written out. These type of people like diagrams and visuals, that's how they remember information the best. Aural learners learn from what they hear. Attending lectures and listening works well for them. Discussions and verbal explanations help them understand things. Readers and writers like to well, read the information and take notes, write it out. The presence of text does not frighten them, but is welcomed as a way to absorb information. Kinisthetic learners are hands on learners. They need to see and experience the personal application in order for it to make sense and be remembered. There is an awesome quiz that can help you know what kind of learner you are. http://www.vark-learn.com/english/page.asp?p=questionnaire Do it! It only took me 3 minutes.

Why would you even care what kind of learner you are? First, it's not as if you are one kind and that is it. Rather, most of us are a combination and it can also depend on what we are learning. You may want to know so that you can adjust your studying and learning techniques to fit your needs. Maybe you have been studying a certain way that just doesn't work for your style of learning and you never knew that there was a different way of doing things. If you can know how you learn and implement learning techniques that suit you, your performance will improve. In other words, if you will just use your senses in that way that works well for you, you're grades will improve. So, take the quiz then use your senses and get better grades!
