Portfolio Midterm

Section 1

By: Francheska David

It is important that you make a commitment to succeed in your college education. A

good way to finish what you start is to start well! In one paragraph or more write what

your intentions (right under this paragraph) are for this class and your college education.

Intention statements are commitments you make to do a specific task or to take a

certain action. Remember to be effective your Intention Statements must begin with "I

will" or "I intend to" NEVER "I WILL TRY". Saying you will try is not good enough to

bring about change.

My dream was to always be successful intelligent women and getting in to

college and getting all this knowledge made me realize that thinks in life are really

hard to get. But I didn’t let all that put me down that’s why now I’m planning on

moving up to Gainesville Florida and go to University of Florida and get my

degree there and become the prodigy that I always wanted to be. There for I WILL

ALWAYS be successful women.

Section Two: There are three Learning Style inventories in this section. Please read the instructions and follow the directions for each:

One tool that students find most valuable is discussed in Chapter 1 and that is DISCOVERING HOW YOU LEARN. This information will help you to take advantage of your strengths and shore up your weaknesses in both school and daily living situations. Knowing this information will help you choose activities that match your learning style. It will also help you understand why you struggle with some activities, professors, and courses and not others. You may also begin to understand why you get along, or work better with some individuals than others (it may help explain why you might disagree with those you are close to as well). Learning Style Assignment #1: VARK Refresher - VARK is a questionnaire that provides users with a profile of their learning preferences. These preferences are about the ways that they want to take-in and give-out information. Here is your assignment:

2. Now answer the following questions:

a. What are your two highest VARK scores? Intuitive 25 Feeling12

b. What are your two lowest VARK scores? Extraverted 1 Judging 7

The one that I think would help me a lot on improving my studying strategies would be

Multimodal. Multiple preferences are interesting and varied. So multiple preferences

gives me the choices of two or three or even four modes to use for my learning and my

interaction with others. Another one that may help me would be read/write study

strategies. Considering that I procrastinate a lot and most of the time I leave homework

for last minute and sometimes I even forget about an important appointment.

Learning Style Assignment #2: Myers/Briggs
