In fact, I would have liked hearing about the studies in more detail. I liked the author’s use of the example of learning to play an instrument because I could relate to it (pathos = emotional appeal) and it made the argument more “real” for me. Perhaps, for the same reason, the article might be less interesting and compelling to someone without any formal musical experience.

1 ‘A personalised induction will always be more effective’ Discuss Personalisation of an induction can involve two processes, modifying the script for ones self and also for the recipient. The former is simpler in the fact that although we want to feel comfortable with the choice of words and order, we need to keep in mind that what works best for us must also work for everyone we engage. With each person we see, we are dealing with a unique individual so when we personalise there will be more factors to consider. This highlights the importance of the pre induction talk where information can be gathered to assist in adapting the induction. In conversation between people that are present, it has been proved that the verbal content isn’t always as significant as body language and tone.
11 December 2014 Drowning in the Discourse Julie Wildhaber says that “A strong, well-defined voice is the bridge between you and your audience: It helps your readers understand who you are, and it helps you engage them” (Wildhaber). For students in college, their audience will always be their professor. Along with expecting a strong voice, professors expect students, even first year students, to master and employ the many other writing skills that make up academic discourse. Most students tend to prioritize the more technical conventions of writing over the development of a distinguished and personalized voice. The conventions of college writing are very complex and if professors are more helpful and patient with first year students as they learn academic discourse, students will be better prepared for all future academic endeavors and they will have a better opportunity to strengthen and develop their voice.
The bulk of the lesson time is usually spent in practical work of some sort. I try to vary this as much as I can within the constraints of the course content and the environment. I have tried a few times to get the students to work together as a single team, but each time I encountered an unexpected amount of resistance. What does seem to work is the use of “props”; asking the students to identify and describe uses for a collection of microphones proved much more engaging when the mics were on a table to hold and study while deciding. 1.2 Explain How Approaches to Learning and Teaching in Own Specialism
They explain that setting long and short-term goals can help us accomplish the things we want out of life. Setting long-term goals helps us to better understand what we want out of life and the short-term goals we set help us better reach the long term goals. The reason we break down the long-term goals into short-term goals is because it makes it easier to stay focused on what we want to accomplish.

What is my style? Every since Elementary School I was always taught that everyone had a different learning style. But after reading the article The Myth of learning Styles I'm starting to question that. I do think there is some truth in that preposition, because I think I learn better by working with my hands or actually doing things not just hearing it.
