The student also completed the “Personality Spectrum,” and the result was organizer (Carter, et.al., 2007, p. 46). Through their descriptions these two results coincide with each other. Both describe a person that is organized, understands material logically and sequentially. Study Techniques To function best in a distance learning environment, the student will use the suggested study techniques to maximize her learning potential and thrive academically. Specifically the idea to organize learning material logically and sequentially will greatly improve the learning ability. Also writing outlines of the information will help narrow down specifics that need to be memorized for assignments. Further, knowing what is expected and required from a task will assist the student in achieving success. This can be accomplished by listing via bullet points the tasks given in a syllabus. Possessing the logical-mathematical intelligence and having an organizer personality significantly enhances one’s ability to learn through orderly, spelled-out material. …show more content…

This may assist in clearing the mind to become ready for information to be absorbed. Also to help memorize certain knowledge the learner may break down the information and rap it back to herself. This could improve the retention of the data the student is
