how do you learn best?

[Cavalry]

sorry if this is kinda spamish, today in my auto tech class, we were talking about all the ways of learning (hands on, books, visual)

so I began to wonder how the HL2.netters learn best, so, are you a visual learner, a hands on learner, or do you learn more by reading books?

 

[Vegeta897]

Hands on / visual.

 

[Dog--]

When someone shows me something, I usually get it right the very first try.. Although if it's something like, for example, playing a song on guitar, then I'll get it right, but I won't get it fast, I'll be playing it slower then how it's actually played or something like that, but I won't make any mistakes the first time, but the more I practice it, the more I start screwing up. I hate it when that happens..

 

[Escaep]

Hands on. :hmph::thumbs:

 

[Social Bacon]

Orally. I learn best when I discuss a concept with someone.

 

[SimonomiS]

Yeah, shouldn't auditory learning be on there?

 

[Cavalry]

I guess it should, I didn't think about that, so, auditory, visual, hands on, or books?

 

[Wanted Bob]

Visual.

 

[Raziaar]

I'm a combination of Visual and Hands On. Individually I'd say I'm better Visual than hands on... but combined is where I shine the best.

Video tutorials for the win.

Why isn't auditory on there?

I learn best by listening to lectures. I learn music best by listening to it.

 

[dfc05]

Hands-on, as in working out problems (combined with using material or references from text/lecture).

I'd say auditory is the worst for me because I have a hard time focusing. If there are no powerpoint slides or notes written on the blackboard, I'd probably fall asleep. I also need to take notes to help focus.

 

[Darkside55]

Combination books/visual/hands-on. I voted books.

Most things I can learn easily through reading about them and applying what's in the book. Certain things I might need a visual, like a picture or a video, or even live demonstration, and THEN repeating what I saw. But for most things, I'm a book-learner.

 

[Stigmata]

Hands-on and visual :naughty:

 

[taviow]

Visual and hands-on :naughty:

 

[Ennui]

i learn best by being fed information (reading, oral, observation, whatever) and then figuring out how whatever is going on works.

i dont really favor one form of learning over another, it's all sort of the same process to me, although i'm probably best at reading if I had to choose.

 

[evil^milk]

A combination of hands on and none. Mostly visual and audio. I take both and transform them in my head - it's a bit hard to explain.

 

[Saturos]

Neither/other method. I'm mainly a combination of all of these depending on the resources that are currently available. Flexibility sells much better in the career marketplace than just one rigid method of learning. :thumbs:

 

[Bug-eyed Earl]

You can tell me things over and over again, but if you don't have me doing what ever it is while you walk me through it, the likelihood of me retaining any of it is slim to nothing. And I think it's best that you answer every little question I have or else I probably won't understand.

My brother-in-law is teaching me about programming (just super basic stuff) and he has yet to really get the grasp of how to teach me even though I tell him.

I love to learn, but I have a hard time finding people who will teach me in a way that I learn.

 

[Cheomesh]

I learn best in the 19th Century Environment where Knowledge is up on the board and we MUST know it all, or fail at life.

Nah I kid. It depends what it is, really.

 

[99.vikram]

Visual.

The worst part is nobody can understand why I'm good at probability and calculus, and bad at Fourier transforms etc.

 

[bam23]

Mix between visual and hands on. It also helps a lot for me to be interested in whatever we're learning.

 

[Raziaar]

Transfered through my cerebral cortex via a cable.

 

[taviow]

Very nice, but you have to be careful not to run out of HD space.

[sinkoman]

Sitting there and thinking seems to work best for me.

But I suppose that's more about analyzing things.

Books work well too. Well written books that is.

 

[Asuka]

Hands on / visual.

 

[Kula Meenur]

all of the above breu

 

[Eejit]

Add "listening".

 

[NeptuneUK]

I don't learn.
Ever.

I'm mostly hands on and visual. if I'm reading something that doesn't interest me I usually tune out while reading and have to re-read the same sentence like 3 times until I've finally understood what it's talking about
