Knowing Myself As a Learner

As a learner, I work better in groups because for me it is easier to have members of my group to lean on and rely on. For example, I really liked FAME and I think I learned better in FAME because I did not only learn the things I researched but I had a team I could learn from. Since I know myself and how I learn better in groups this unit Revolutions has been harder for me because I had to rely on my own research and planing my schedule of when I was going to complete certain assignments.

With Cultures being a researched-based class, it has been sort of easy because I can find the information I need and record it. It has also been easy being in a research-based class because I can remember information and understand what I research in depth. But it has not been all easy. I also have some struggles in Cultures. Some of my struggles this year are when I take notes. Sometimes I cannot pull out the big picture ideas from the tiny, not as important ideas. Cultures, being a research-based class, for me is a good way to learn because I am good at researching information and remembering it. Some strategies for researching I use are videos because they are easy and explain a lot since I am a visual learner, I also use websites with lot's of information. Finally, having a place to record the information,like an online document or piece of paper, is always helpful. Some ways I think I can improve my learning in this class are by slowing down and capturing all big picture ideas  and important details.
