Learning style
Learning style activity
Mostly 'A'
You probably like new experiences and challenges, and enjoy interacting with people but sometimes get bored easily. You might find it helpful to study for short rather than extended periods of time. You'll probably enjoy taking part in tutorials and and meeting other students.You prefer to do things quickly rather than spend time weighing up the consequences. You need to make sure that you allocate time to review your assignments carefully before you submit them so that you avoid careless mistakes. You need to be prepared to review them again when you get them back so that you can learn from the feedback.
If you find it difficult to work alone, remember that you can use online conferencing to keep in touch with other students.
Mostly 'C'
You apply logic to what you do and are likely to enjoy analysing and problem solving. You're probably good at organising your work and time. The systematic approach needed for OU study probably suits you, but you may find it hard to contemplate trying new things.
You're probably happy to take time to look back over your work and learn from your tutor's feedback. You need to make sure that you're also prepared to try new things in order to develop your skills.
Although checking, editing and proof-reading are vital stages in the assignment process, you may be tempted to spend more time than you can afford on fine-tuning. Remember that there comes a point when you need to just let go and get on with the next part of the course! Learning from your tutor's feedback will help you with future assignments, end-of-course assessments and exams.
The learning cycle
If you had lots of Ds perhaps it’s because you’re a practical person who likes to get on with things. Don’t miss out the review stage which encourages you to analyse your approach to assignments because that helps you to learn from your mistakes.
If you didn’t have many Ds think about your approach to study. Do you make plans? Do you take action on them? If you don’t, you won’t see the results of reviewing your work.
If you didn’t have many As it may be because you find it difficult to be proactive and get to grips with new things, like the approach suggested on this site. You might be good at reviewing things but not so good at carrying out your action plans!
If you had lots of As you might be tempted to miss out parts of this cycle because you don’t stop and think and review your work. This means that you may not have a clear idea of how best to develop your skills.
If you didn’t have many Cs it may be because you don’t really like going back over things and analysing them. You probably want to get on to the next part of your course and the next assignment but it’s important to learn from your experiences.
If you had lots of Cs you’re probably good at learning from your mistakes. However, you need to make sure you don’t miss the next stage because this is about moving forward by making and carrying out some action plans.
If you didn’t have many Bs it may be because you like moving forward and find the idea of looking back and reviewing your work difficult. However, If you omit this, you won’t have a clear idea of what works well for you and what doesn’t.
If you had lots of Bs you’re probably a very reflective person who is willing to look back at TMAs and learn from experience. You will need to make sure that you take this a stage further, make some action plans and carry them out.
