My Learning Style

Everyone learns best in their own style. For me, I cannot read and remember facts. Instead, I would prefer learning visually and auditory, more to visually. So far the subjects this semester does not incorporate visual learning other than the slides projected during lectures. 


As much as I know myself, I can sometimes remember what is written on the particular slide and also the chronology of the slides to come. This really helps me a lot during exams where I get to think back that particular slide and get the answers. 


I am still finding the best way to revise visually the topics given but it will be another task to overcome. Everyday is a self discovery and I will find out the best way for myself soon.
