VARK Learning Styles Chasity Lucero Grand Canyon University: NRS-429V 03/28/2015 VARK Learning Styles VARK is a questionnaire that is used by students, teachers, employees, and bosses to try and help determine how they learn best and their preferences when learning. VARK stands for visual, auditory, read/write, and kinesthetic. Everybody learns differently and being able to identify the learning preference is key. In college, many people find that chapters and chapters of reading become a daily task with the assignments given. However, little to no information is being retained if the person does not have a ‘read/write’ learning style.
lagerism has always been a huge concern towards teachers and administrators who want students work to represent their own efforts and to reflect the outcomes of their learnings.however, with the advent with the internet and easy access to almost limitless written material on every conceivable topic. plagerisim is stealing other people's work and ideas which makes you who you are. professors expect students to use their own words and imagination to see the abilities they have in writing. the worst part of it is that most students dont know how professors can be that smart to tell that it is a plagerized paper. students can be very addicted to plagerizing since it is very easy to find any type of information.
Is This Education or Just a Game? “To a professor, education is like constructing a building, with each brick of knowledge resting on prior bricks. But to most students, it is more like a sport. Students prepare feverishly for each match (exam), taking away their points and their standing (grade) and little else” says Walter R. Tschinkel in his article titled “Is This Education or Just a Game?” In this current event article Tschinkel discusses on the fact that majority of college students remember nothing from their previous courses, or even from their previous exams. Tschinkel is a professor of biological science at Florida State University; he explains “Rarely can a student give a coherent explanation of simple principles learned in middle or high school, much less in college”.
Is “Free Speech” Really Free? Getting to speak your mind in elementary school all the way through high school is very limited, possibly due to the maturity level of most, but when college comes around it starts to open the doors to where decisions, ideas, and choice of classes are your freedom to express and declare what you want, but college systems are silently restricting the freedom that students have to voice their opinion. Allowing the right of free speech on public college campuses has become an important issue that many public colleges are starting to address. The author Mary Beth Marklein explains in her article that the freedom of speech students have on campus is not as extensive as college administrators claim, or what the student’s desire. Marklein reveals students feelings of being influenced to join programs where they are not able to speak their mind and provide input.
Not only was she not dedicated to the class, but she From my own personal experience, it can sometimes take a lot to learn online. It takes more dedication, because you have to remind yourself to read, when your assignments are due, and be motivated in learning the material thoroughly, alone. You have to know when to you truly need help, and be comfortable communicating that to your teacher or peers. Rossett however, appears to not have possessed any of these
She provides various arguments regarding her theory and growing concern of whether students benefit from online educational platforms. This essay addresses the many deficits of online learning, particularly concerning the subject of writing. Kiefer also discusses the fact that, although online learning is a now a popular trend due the advancement of technology, it is a flawed system due to a writing teacher trying to foster student-student interaction with no resources other than electronic discourse (Kiefer, 2007). She reveals concerns from the standpoint of classroom support software, student's time constraints and "Market" Models of Education. Additionally, there is an incredible level of detachment caused by the impersonal nature of these online courses among students and student as well as teacher and student.
In today’s generation the only time we ever read is for a class, or something important. He also states, “Now my concentration often starts to drift after two or three pages.” What I believe he is trying to say is that most people do not have the attention span to even dedicate their time to a book. We use the internet so much that we are all so used to it, and it is so much faster than reading a novel on something that would take us five minutes to find. We also do not technically read either, we mostly skim through text. The problems that the author is trying to solve is to get people to become more knowledgeable by reading much more educated novels, and not using the internet databases to quickly find an answer or solution to something.
It is a negative method of hypothesis elimination, in the way the questions eliminate previous hypotheses which lead to contradictions and provide better hypotheses with less or no contradictions. The Socratic Method is used throughout the world, mainly in college and university settings, but has become increasingly prominent in high schools. But Socrates himself would encourage the question, is the Socratic Method really a useful method of learning? Or is it just a way for teachers to frustrate students and strip them of their opinions? The Socratic Method is a relevant and effective method of teaching because it develops one’s self-knowledge, has demonstrated its effectiveness in today’s education system, and it teaches the valuable lesson of humility.
Compare and Contrast After high school everyone has to make many educational decisions. One choice is how and where to take their classes. Whether college classes are taken online or on-campus, they have similarities and differences that need to be considered. With online classes, you don’t have any instant access to your teacher. Should you need any help or just have a question, it’s difficult to get any personalized help from either the teacher or any student in your class.
Those strategies might give us some extra free time and keep us away from hurt ours brain by stress. Even thought, technology can be use to have access to information and helps students to develop skills, if we don’t take control of it, can be very dangerous.

In this case we should turn off the phone, disable de internet, turn off the music and go back to the first strategy, which is get focus, and do the priority. In conclusion the first step for overcoming the technology’s stimulation and multitasking is get focus and set priorities and get them done first.
