My+Learner+Profile

I am more of a reflective learner, I prefer to think ideas through before I act on them. This usually means that I achieve higher in my work, but it does take me longer so I'm left stressing before deadlines. When it comes to sensing and intuitive, I lean more towards intuitive. I enjoy putting my own spin on assignments, work, etc. I have difficulty when it comes to visual learning (flow charts, diagrams, etc.) and am therefore a more verbal learner. I prefer lectures and one-on-one chats to teachers when it comes to learning. I am a global learner, I like to see the whole picture, and then figure out how to achieve my goal when I understand everything. Therefore mathematics is not a strong point for me, but English and other language-rich subjects are. When it comes to essays and creative writing, I'll often start from the conclusion/ending paragraph and piece it all together at the last minute. I'm fairly balanced between the two sides of my brain, but I do have a slight tendancy to use the right side more. The online quiz taken as a class reflected this.

In the future, I intend to capitalise on my strengths in language by taking a Bachelor of Arts and majoring in English. Hopefully this will be a good starting point for my career goal of an editor at a book publishing company. I love to read, and I attempt to expose myself to any texts I can, I've been in a poetry writing course previously, and would like to begin that again. My weaknesses lay in Mathematics and Science, being a global learner, I find it difficult to use sequntial, step-by-step formulas. I'm currently taking a course in Mathematics Applications, and succeeding in it. If I conclude this semester on a high pass for that course, I may continue for the remainder of the year. For year 12, I intend to stay in my comfort zone and take language-rich subjects, such as; English, History and maybe politics.
