Yeah, aint that the truth.
One of the pitfalls of adult education is there is often little or no support for developing study strategies and regimes that can be used by people who did not have the benefit of just finishing high school where these teachings are the norm. I also find there is often very little accomodation for people with different learning styles, i.e. kinesthetic v's auditory v's visual. In fact, i'd wager very few programs even help students identify their learning type before the commencement of study (I believe this should be a compulsory module done at the beginning of any extended tertiary study)
A lot of the time, people who rely strongly on kinesthetic or visual (or a combination of both) are often at a disadvantage, either because the material presentation is not varied, or the subject itself does not lend kindly to being presented as a physical exercise.
I feel sorry for anyone who is a combination of kinesthetic/visual learning. Learning science subjects can be a real pain in the ass - and making revision notes that cater for your learning style are a lot more time consuming than others.
Hehe - did anyone get the impression i have had some problems with study strategies?
