After completing a short questioner in the book, “Study and Critical Thinking Skills in College”, I realized that I learn best socially and visually. Social learners prefer to work with others and are usually more interactive with people. Personally, I do best when studying in groups or being involved in class discussions. I also like to converse with my professor just as much as my peers. If for some reason I do not get along with the teacher I will normally do worse in class. I’m a strong visual learner too, which means I process information by seeing it in a picture, diagram, or even print. That is why films and computers teach me better than a teacher who lectures.

There are advantages and disadvantages when working with someone who learns in a different way than you. For instance, an independent learner will know information that wasn’t covered in class but they may not understand what happened in the class discussion. So my partner and I could benefit by using our strengths to teach each other. Group projects also incorporate different learning skills such as researching a topic and presenting it. This can be used to my advantage because it enables my partner and I to split the work according to how we both learn. I could make diagrams and charts while my partner could do more of the research. Furthermore, when working with someone who has an opposite learning style you are sometimes forced to learn in a different way. This may be helpful because your learning style can change. If you are an independent learner and you are working with a social person, you may actually become better at learning socially.

If I was working on a project with a partner who had the exact opposite learning style we would have to work in a manner that made it easy for both of us to learn. In order to do that I would have to understand not only the way I learn, but also the way my partner learns. I could then make the necessary adjustments that would be effective for our conflicting learning styles. Seeing that my strong points are social and visual my partne
