MUSE Workshop

For my first MUSE workshop, I went to a workshop called "Making Learning Styles Work For You." In this workshop, the instructor taught us about the different learning styles, and how we can find what our learning style is and how to use it to our advantage. There are 3 major learning styles: visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. Visual learners learn through seeing. These learners need to see the teacher's body language and facial expression to fully understand the content of a lesson. They should use visual aids like diagrams, have a clear view of the teacher in class, and visualize information in their head to help memorize it. Auditory learners learn through listening. They learn best through verbal lectures, discussions, talking things through and listening to what others have to say. They should read the text aloud while reading, create mnemonics to help memorize, and use a tape recorder during lectures to listen to later. Kinesthetic learners learn through doing. Kinesthetic persons learn best through a hands-on approach. They should take frequent breaks while studying, exercise while studying, and use bright colors to highlight material.
In the workshop, I learned that I was a visual learner, and since then I have been employing the study tips that the teacher gave out, like visualizing whatever I am studying in my mind, and it seems to be helping.
