Learning Styles In College

Improved Essays
Over the past month I have been learning about way to better myself academically and ways to successfully transfer into the college of my choice. What I have came to realize is that I may not be as prepared for college as I had thought. After we took the learning styles assessment, I was surprised to find out that I am a very organized person. My two main learning styles were: solitary and logical. Both of those learning styles tell me that I am organized and like things neat and clean. This would be helpful in college because in order to be successful you must be organized. Being neat and organized really helps when taking notes or studying for a test because it allows you to be able to quickly find what you are looking for and be able to tell what you took notes on. Test taking is made easier when you use common sense or prior knowledge to answer the question without having to second guess yourself.

The culture of a College determines the atmosphere of the College and decides the reputation that the College gets over time. College culture is an important deciding factor when choosing a College. After doing research on the College I want to attend, I have decided that I like it even more. The culture of my chosen College seems to be good and I get the feeling that everyone there wants to help new students feel as comfortable as possible. There are many services offered that are designed to help new students successfully adapt to the College life. My chosen College offers a ton of programs that are helpful in making College easier and fun. When I transfer to King University I hope to enroll in many of these programs so that I can get as much as I can out of the College

    I chose to attend Ivy Tech Community College because it was the best option financially. I got into several phenomenal four-year colleges and universities, but ultimately, Ivy Tech will provide me with a challenging, thought-provoking start to my college education for a more affordable price. Rather than taking out a significant amount of loans to sit in a lecture hall of 200+ students, I will attend a community college that has smaller class sizes and gives me the tools and resources that I will need to transfer to a four-year college or university and succeed academically once I do. I will be the first person in my family to attend college. While my family members have fulfilling, successful careers without a college degree, my career interests…

    Whether through mandatory schooling or through the social interaction we have as humans, we are always learning, and just as all teachers don’t have the same teaching style, all students have different learning styles. They are greatly affected by their personal learning styles, sometimes impeding their progress through school and their ability to succeed. The barriers to my learning in many classrooms can generally be traced back to an unorganized classroom structure and an unwelcoming learning environment where students feel they cannot go to the professor for help. A more communicative learning environment between professor and student would be beneficial for both parties, especially if the learning environment was designed specifically for the students’ learning styles.…

    Since I was homeschooled through high-school, the way I preferred to study was pretty simple, yet efficient. First, I would have a pre-planned general, weekly schedule of all my subjects that I needed to complete each day, but it was a flexible schedule that just described what I needed to generally do each day of each month through the whole year. After organizing my textbooks and their folders, I would find all my books and order them in my “study box” to help me stay on track with the readings and extra things I needed to go through. Since I had a lot of diverse subjects that required different learning strategies, I always tried taking notes in accordance with my learning style preference and approached each subject in a similar yet different way.
