Question: How do you learn best? What can Mr. Coyle do to help me learn most effectively in the class?

Well, it might seem improbable, but I learn well all 3 ways. It seems the same to me as long as I pay attention to what is happening. But since I really need a specific answer, id say I’m a visual learner. I remember things when I see them happen very well. When I watch T.V and there is a show on, I remember the key important points very well, and over a long period of time. But I also like learning with things such as a Socratic Seminar. I think the SS is probably my favorite way of discussing a topic.

Mr. Coyle, I think the best way for most students to learn, is to always come up with a new and creative way of learning. One day we could watch some video, then the next we could read an article, then we could be assigned to study to topic in groups and discuss it etc. I think that if there is a same way of learning happening over and over again, that the interest level of student’s drops. But if you come up with something new regularly, then students will think about the subject more because there is different way of learning about it.
