Hi Gomez,
Everyone has a style or way they like to learn. Some people can listen to a talk or lecture, others must use their hands to work with things to learn and some use a combination of ways to learn. You should start noticing when you feel you are learning something. What are you doing at that time? You will get an idea if you are auditory (learn by listening), kinesthetic (learn by moving or doing), or some combination style.
Here is a reference guide used to try to help reach all students.
Learning styles refer to a range of theories that aim to account for differences in individuals' learning. There are different ways to categorize learning styles, but some of the most common ones are:
a. Visual learners: prefer to see things drawn out or in graphs to understand concepts.
b. Auditory learners: prefer to process information by listening.
c. Kinesthetic learners: are hands-on.
d. Verbal learners: prefer to process information by using words in both speech and writing.
e. Logical learners: have a mathematical brain.
f. Social learners: process by talking and discussing with others.
g. Solitary learners: alone with information and their thoughts.
Great questions. I hope this helps you start learning about your style of learning.

That's an awesome answer; essentially what I would have posted too.

Hi Gomez,
I was a very successful student. For me, the key was organization. Not so much fun, but it worked. I made lists…Read chapter 3 about WW2. Figure out that algebra equation. Finish memorizing the state capitals. *Write up chem lab results. (I like using * for important things)
Then cross them off when completed. Very satisfying! And effective.
Next, for me, was note taking. I was a copious note taker. Sometimes just a phrase, or even just a word. Sometimes complete sentences. It really kept me focused in class…kept my mind from wandering. Also came in mighty handy when it came to studying for tests. I might have to refer to my textbook for a fuller picture, but most often, my notes would remind me what was important. And, often teachers want to hear their own words coming back to them.
Next, I’d say take some calculated risks. Grab the teacher after class, and ask if you could meet to go over something that you didn’t quite get. You’ll be rewarded for your effort. I know. Cause I’m a teacher!!
Lastly, enjoy learning! Took me a while, but after I got myself organized and it became a ‘system’, it got so much easier, that I started to enjoy it. And stopped beating myself up.
Wish you loads of success, and Happy Learning! Great question, by the way. Never stop asking questions.
