The Visual/ Nonverbal Learning Style

You learn best when information is presented visually and in a picture or design format. In a classroom setting, you benefit from instructors who use visual aids such as film, video, maps and charts. You benefit from information obtained from the pictures and diagrams in textbooks. You tend to like to work in a quiet room and may not like to work in study groups. When trying to remember something, you can often visualize a picture of it in your mind. You may have an artistic side that enjoys activities having to do with visual art and design.

Learning Strategies for the Visual/ Nonverbal Learner:
Make flashcards of key information that needs to be memorized. Draw symbols and pictures on the cards to facilitate recall. Use highlighter pens to highlight key words and pictures on the flashcards. Limit the amount of information per card, so your mind can take a mental "picture' of the information.

Mark up the margins of your textbook with key words, symbols, and diagrams that help you remember the text. Use highlighter pens of contrasting colors to "color code" the information.

When learning mathematical or technical information, make charts to organize the information. When a mathematical problem involves a sequence of steps, draw a series of boxes, each containing the appropriate bit of information in sequence.

Use large square graph paper to assist in creating charts and diagrams that illustrate key concepts.

Use the computer to assist in organizing material that needs to be memorized. Using word processing, create tables and charts with graphics that help you to understand and retain course material. Use spreadsheet and database software to further organize material that needs to be learned.

As much as possible, translate words and ideas into symbols, pictures, and diagrams.

In short, I believe I may be doomed if I choose to pursue a course of study in science. Especially hard science.

How sweet to be an idiot. As harmless as a cloud...

Ever since Miss Lee's visit in April I've opened the blinds for the living room windows.

Today while I was busy browsing the internet I heard an odd sound. When I looked up I saw a female posterior go from the squatting position to a standing position only to walk westward towards the street.

What the hell?

The blinds are now closed and will remain that way.

Sunday night slash Monday morning I dreamt that I was brushing my teeth. Good lord my teeth were enormous. Verging on the comedy used on the old Howard Stern Show when they'd make fun of Gary Dell'Abate. Fucking mismatched, jumbled up ivory tombstones in my mouth and they were covered in chocolate.

At least I hope it was chocolate.

Anyway no matter how hard I scrubbed I just moved the brown stains around rather than cleaning my mouth.
