After completing the assessment, I was not too surprised. I think the results are right on and describe my learning habits. I seem to be more of a visual. I have always been a visual learner, as I seem to recall something that I visually saw versus something I heard. As when reading chapters I can usually recall where I read it, as my memory tends to be pretty decent for now. I found the results encouraging as there is nothing negative about being a visual learner.
Three learning tactics I will use is while reading paying attention to all charts and keywords. I can also take other notes while reading lectures to make sure I understand the topics. One last thing that can help visual learners is to print-out charts or figures that you think
2. Do you believe the amount of time you spent studying (studying = reading over notes, actually taking notes in class and asking questions in class when you don't understand, looking over any practice problems, ck12, watching videos, etc) correlates with how you did on this assessment? Overall I did know a lot of the content but when it came to time management and glancing over the problems I landed with a failing grade. This
I have never been able to watch my lectures and repeat them if for some reason I missed key information. Prior to this program, I have taken an online course and enjoyed it, but this course is a little different because of the video streams and other resources available. I absolute love the fact that audio streams are provided because I can put my ear plugs in, and listen to the lecture over and over again. I am the type of learner who needs to watch the lectures
Mariko and Jillian Tamaki display a strong sense composition of visual literacy in Skim. In Skim the first area in the composition noticed is the contrast between lights and darks, the black gutters on some pages, the frameless panels, and cropped images. Each opening chapter or part is a double page spread that introduces you to the next section or diary entry. Skim is about a teenage girl named Kimberly, aka Skim writing in her diary. The story line is redundant of a teenager girl looking for love, trying to fit in, with self-image and self-esteem issues.
The diagnostic test was quite the surprise to me. I knew more than I thought I did, but I didn’t know enough to pass the AP Exam. Out of the 55 questions, I missed 17. Which is not too shabby for a guy that isn’t outstanding at complex multiple choice questions. I seemed to be the most distraught about the questions that could have multiple answers or required me to choose the best answer.
This was most definitely an interesting exercise. My scoring was a little surprising to me in some areas. I believe these areas targeted some place that I need and would like to improve on. Analyzer style here I believe that my scoring was ok.
I feel that as I pay attention with my eyes and ears, it will help me learn on a visual level of
1. What were your results for the test? Were these results surprising to you? Why or why not? a.
Figure 1 is a summary of the students’ learning throughout the learning segment. I administrated this test as a pre-assessment prior to the lesson one and administered it again after the completion of lesson 3. This test is a compilation of students’ learning and it demonstration how they met the standards and objectives that were set out for them to achieve. The evaluation criteria in which this assessment and all other assessment in the individual lessons did was not altered. Even though the students have different learning needs, the assessment met all of the needs for all learners.
The use of constant visual aids in material scaffolding would also help the student, especially if the mnemonic device was a poster in the front of the
2:1 Compare the strengths and limitations of assessments of a range of assessment methods with reference to the needs of individual learners. Workplace Observations, question and answer/professional discussions, projects/assignments, portfolios, witness statements. A good assessor will always take into account their learners needs and what particular subject they are studying for prior to confirming with learner type of assessment method to be used.

The Influence of Visual Literacy Nancy Sounthornchote CGD 218 Instructor Day February 16, 2015 The Influence of Visual Literacy Brian Kennedy, the director of Dartmouth’s Hood Museum of Art, strongly believes that visual literacy is the understanding to construct meaning from images. Kennedy argues that visual literacy is not a skill, but a structure of critical thinking and a universal language that is imperative in today’s digital age. The textbook defines visual literacy as the competent creation and consumption of visual messages. These activities require not only the physical ability of sight but the cognitive skills of attention, perception, critical thinking, evaluation, and synthesis of other sensory information and experiences. Both of these definitions for visual literacy are quite different in my opinion.
Human sensory perception is facilitated by a number of extremely complex systems that are responsible for relaying sensory information to the brain. Two such systems are the visual system and the auditory system. The human visual system can be broken down into three major components: the retina, the visual pathway, and the visual cortex.197 Each of these three components house complex systems within themselves comprised of many small, yet significant, parts that work together to allow the processing of visual information.
For all the assignments we get, I often listen to the audio given. This way I interpret and understand better. A benefit of hearing the text is catching parts that I might have missed. Also, different people have different nuance when reading a text, and it is good to hear another way people read the same text. Some disadvantages are that I get distracted easily, since I don't not have to read I often go on my phone or work on different assignments.
Visual Learning I am a visual learner, meaning I learn better seeing thing. Visual learner often see everything as a picture because it often help us get the point of the lesson and understand the concept of whatever I am working on. Visual learning is a style in which a learner utilizes graphs, charts, maps and diagrams. With being a visual learner I am going to let you know how seeing thing, and visualizing thing help easy my learning.
In second language learning, using visual aids is a necessity teaching strategy in both English as Second Language (ESL) classroom and English as Foreign Language (EFL) classroom (Allen, Kate & Marquez, 2011). They believed that using visual aids in the process of teaching a foreign language can strengthen what learners have learned and increase their interest. In their article, they proposed the positive impact of using visuals and they concluded that teachers should become aware of the strategies in which they can use visual aids and use them purposefully in the classroom to enhance students’ learning. Visual aids can be defined as using objects, drawings, charts, photographs, videos, multimedia presentation, etc.
