Kinesthetic Learning: Procrastination Style

Kinesthetic Learning
There are different styles a student can use to study and learn. Although most have used the procrastination style, which was not covered on the VARK questionnaire, consisting of all day and night cramming before the test. Everybody knows that the procrastination style is one of the worst ways to study and comes with the stress and anxiety. After taking the VARK questionnaire the style that best fit my study habits was kinesthetic. Kinesthetic learning revolves around hands on approach. Also known as physical learners they need to touch, feel, handle things trying things for themselves demonstrations are not always beneficial they would rather learn from trial and error.
