The things students do to study for school



Many students have the same ways of studying, but at the same time each person is unique. I decided to write this article because I thought it would be interesting to find out about some of the out of the ordinary things that students may do to study for classes by posting this question on Yahoo Answers; "What are some things that you do to study for something that may seem odd to others?"

There are three different types of learning styles known as auditory, visual, and kinesthetic. Some sutdents may have one style they prefer much more than the others, and so using the styles it isbest to study in certain ways. Auditory learners may study best by listening to recorded lectures or reading outloud. Reading outloud may also work for visual learners because it is learned in two different ways. Kinesthetic learners usually learn things by using their hands and many motions that may be associated with the lesson. students usually have to find their own unique ways of studying or things to do while studying in order to help them do so.


Some of the other students who answered my post had some very unique things that they said they do when they study.

Food seems to help some of us. Georgia Branan, one of the students who answered the post, says, "to help me study and remeber things, I get a banana and I say one word at a time and then take a bite." This can be an example of both auditory and Kinesthetic learning styles. By hearing herself and involving movement, Georgia and other students who learn by using both retain the information better than just one of the ways.

Some students may also do something that does not involve food. In stead it can involve different noises that don't have to relate to the lesson at all. Joe York, a high school senior who answered the post said, "I listen to music and just read or do it and because of music it's relaxing and I'm able to do it better as I'm not all tensed up and just relax and listen to it and not too focused on it." I personally have to have noise around me. Most of the time I have people talking to each other in the same room in order to be able to focus on my studies.

no matter what you do As long as it works for you it will always help you get a better grad
