Look over the web site on Kolb's Learning Stlyes and explain with examples which style best describes your learning style. I can identify with all of the learning styles but if I had to choose the one most suited for me it would be an "ACCOMODATOR." This is because I am a hands-on learner who does best through experiential learning. I first understood this aspect of myself in college. I did the co-op program through Drexel University where I studied marketing. The classes were were interesting and I did well but it was not until I worked in IBM's marketing departments did I learn that it may not be the field that interested me the most. It took these hands-on experiences to really understand my learning. I was tutoring throughout my undergraduate studies and experiencing that felt right...this led me to teaching where I have been euphorically happy for twelve years. I do like to tackle things head on and on my own before working with others. Both of these qualities are illustrative of an "ACCOMODATOR."
Given your learning style, identify which part of the sci entific method (testing, sensing, reflecting, theorizing) will give you the most difficulty. Theorizing would probably give me the most difficulty in the scientific method while testing would be my strong suit.
