After reviewing the results from my Smart Measure Assessment I found it very helpful to learn about the different styles of learning. Being able to identify my own strengths and knowing what kind of learner I am makes me feel more confident about myself and in my studies. Critical thinking is a strategy that will be helpful to me because I feel as though I can relate to most of the components of being a critical thinker. Whatever Knowledge I am trying to acquire I'm given parts of information and I piece it all together.It helps me to filter out what information relevant.
Another strategy I consider to be helpful is Creative thinking. Vie always been a note taker. It not only keeps me busy while in class and I pay attention more I believe so I know what to write down. I really haven't been one to Just sit there and brain storm so creative thinking to me may be something I could work on to help strengthen the areas I'm most weak in. Since I go over my notes constantly rewriting and putting in order of relevance keeps me organized as well.Using memory as a strategy I think will be helpful as well because when I go over my notes it always helps me memorize what information Vie written down.
Scoring the highest in Social learning on the assessment it surprised me because in my opinion Vie always considered myself to be more of a logical learner and thinker. After reading and reviewing the definitions of the different styles I have to admit that they seem more accurate than not. My social life I am very much a people person so I think I should try and not take things o seriously when in school.I feel that might help me tremendously. Using memory as a strategy I think will be helpful because when I go over my notes it always helps me memorize what information Vie written down. Modifying my approach to studying will be a task all on its own.
Because I am limited with so many things right now time and space are issues I am personally dealing with. But I will use everything I have learned in this class to help me on my road to success.
