VARK Questionnaire

I was asked to do a VARK Questionnaire. A VARK Questionnaire is a way of finding out what type of learner you are. There are four different types of learning sytles.



Visual



A visual learner is a person who learns best from pictures, videos, posters, sildes, graphs and so on i did not score well on here with tells me i need to work on this type of learning style or just stick to the other styles.



Aural



A aural learner is someone who learns best by attend lectures, attend tutorials, discuss topics with other students, discuss topics with your lecturers, explain new ideas to other people, use a tape recorder, remember the interesting examples, stories, jokes... , describe the overheads, pictures and other visuals to somebody who was not there, leave spaces in your lecture notes for later recall and 'filling'. I scored the most in this learning style which i agree with as i do almost all the the above.

  1. A good reflection on your learning line. You have now completed the PDP element of the module and have gained your 10%. You now need to post your literature review
