VARK is a magnificent tool online that simply helps identify the different types of learning styles that are out there and helps guide individuals in the right path as far as learning goes. VARK stands for Visual, Aural, Read/write, and last but not least Kinesthetic. Visual, Aural, and Read/write mean exactly what they say. These individuals learn best by doing just that. Visual learners need to see things in order to learn, aural learners are better when they hear the information, and reading/writing learners perform best reading information and writing it down.
I have successfully lead several teams. Don I am tech savvy and will adapt to whatever the team would like. Mary I am good at APA formatting and reviewing papers for good sentence structure. I will assist other team members if they are having difficulty on researching and/or writing their portion. I would like to develop how to write better transition sentences from one subject to another.
The middle school students increased their abilities to locate main ideas when challenged with exercises in the lesson cycle. The lesson cycle was effective because it gave students practice with text structures, signal words, and graphic organizers (Montelongo, Herter, Ansaldo, & Hatter, 2010). The students also confirmed their comprehension through the correct rewriting of the given text. The authors conclude the study by acknowledging that further study is needed in order to evaluate the quality of expository writing and its effectiveness on comprehension. They further recognize that this study was limited to the specific use of main idea placement in either the first or last
It made it easier to figure out exactly what she was looking for in my paper. It clarified some questions I had and made me realize that I can actually write a good paper when I put my mind to it and take the same time and effort as she does to correct our papers and apply to writing my own

I believe that the link between my learning style and effective study is that I being a naturalist need to be able to organize and label everything so I can know how to find things and easily. This comes in handy for effective study since I will always need to go back and reference my notes.

For the PowerPoint I will write what I need to and make sure that there are a lot of visual aids like pictures and graphs to back up my point but I will check over the work more than once so that there isn’t any mistakes such as spelling or wrong information that would make it look less professional. But for my speaking I will write down what I’m going to talk about and go over it more and more to make sure that I have memorised all of my lines or at least got the idea of what I wrote. When I write down what I’m going to say I have to keep in mind of my audience so I don’t speak in to many high level terms if I’m in a beginners class or speak like a beginner in a professional class. Also if they are my bosses or important people that I have to look professional and keep in the zone whereas if it was a presentation to people my age or younger I could relax a little and not have to worry as much as I could try and get on the level with them creating a better environment where everyone can join in and not feel like I’m just throwing words at them. So throughout this I think that overall I have made good use of all of the interpersonal and written communications techniques that I have learnt throughout all my units.

Many teachers do not like “catching plagiarists and bringing them to academic justice.” As she states, it is not hard to just cite the author that originally had the information you are using (Bojar). Plagiarism is becoming a big problem in the school system. Many students do not understand what needs to be cited and what does not. The school system should teach students the proper way to cite, and they should teach them that copy and pasting is not writing a paper. According Bojar to students at the community college have a hard time juggling classes along with his or her family and a job.
