Journal #3 : Learning Styles

After you have taken the VARK assessment, reflect on your learning styles, and answer the following:

A) Given your VARK preference, what are the benefits and challenges you face with learning in a classroom? Learning online? Studying and taking tests?

B) After reading the articles above, reflect on other learning preferences you have. Do you learn better on your own, or with a group? Day or night? Sitting in a quiet library, or lounging on the couch listening to music? How can you better utilize your preferences to be successful in college and at work?
