Brain Gym - Learning Profile

I learn best when...
We are assign to a group work, because I am exposed to different opinions, ideas, and various information. Listening to my friends opinion and sharing our thoughts gives me the confidence to speak up, which I thinks is a form of interactive researching. Also working in a group we get different opinions, sometimes against what I think is right, but it made me learn to share and open up to different ideas. Researching and writing papers can be interesting but I think I concentrate more when the same work is to be given in an activity form that requires my creativity.

I need to...
Concentrate on the given topic and try not to wander too far off from the given assignment, and learn to do everything in steps so my work is more organized. As much as it is hard to focus on the given topic, I need to fully understand what the assignment is about and double check my work. I also need to try looking at the bigger picture rather than focusing too much on the small things that are irrelevant to writing an essay, understanding the picture as a whole first then moving onto elaborating on details is something I will need to work on.

The strategies that would help me in my learning...
Will be brainstorming and laying out drafts. skipping the basic steps only made me miss out on important facts and it took me longer to organize my work after I finished it. It will help me a lot more if I list out the things I have to do step by step and tick them off when I am done with it. This way I could keep track of my work and a lot more time will be saved.

I would like my teachers to know this about me...
I have a lot of ideas and thoughts that I would like to share with my classmates but sometimes they don't come out right or in any particular order, my concentration span is not very durable but I am working on it. I would like to have a bit more silent reading time as I feel 10minutes is not enough to absorb the material given also to add in my ideas.
