      I learn through doing things or pictures. I’m not very good at absorbing things just by listening to them or hearing about them. Made it hard to take things in in lectures!

      I mostly learn through using the knowledge… so if say someone told me a fact and I relayed it to someone else I would remember it. But if someone told me a fact and I did nothing with it I would likely forget it! I am lucky in that I do have a good memory and it is full of really random stuff! When I come to needing to learn say for exams I always used to re-write lecture notes to help me process them a little more

      Pictures are good but anything I can get my eyes on works. I’m a very visual person so I need to see the words written down, or pictures, to remember information. Sometimes I would re-read things so much that I would go to my exams knowing the exact pages and t sentences in the book where the information was.

      Both. Pictures, including graphs, give a quick summary. Writing explains why its important and how

      Great question! different people learn differently, there’s also learning by doing, by audio and by teaching others.

      For me, I learn through a combination of doing, pictures and writing. And I believe that the younger generation nowadays are also doing as such.
