Wk #3 Learning
I learn better, as I'm sure most people do, by doing something hands on and performing the task at hand. However, memorization plays a big role even though we are always taught not to memorized things but to learn them. There are times when it's just better to memorize certain things to be able to perform them hands-on. It might be hard to explain but for example, learning how to change a tire is easier practice doing it then listen to someone lecture about it or reading it in a manual. However, some people might not know what a tire, lugnuts, tire iron, or jack is. It is probably better for the person memorize the materials needed to change a tire and then learn how to perform the procedures. I hope that what I'm trying to say makes sense. So, once again eveyone can learn in many ways, and there is not just one way that is the most effective way to learn.
