Learning style

       Today in class, we did some VARK questionnaire, where V stand for Visual, A stands for Aural/ Auditory, R stands for Reading and K stands for kinaesthetic. After completing the questionnaire, it help me to find out what kind of learner I am. According to the points of  questionnaire, I was classified as an "Aural and Kinaesthetic" style of learner. That means, the easier way I learn is by listening or by doing things practically rather then reading or in any other way.
       The time when I didn't knew about my learning style sometimes, I used to have a difficulty in understanding the part of my reading easily or to do an assignment . Since,I was not aware of my learning style, I used to waste a lot of times reading the books or subjects  over and over or correcting the assignments again and again. Later, when I discover my learning style, I apply it on my academic place and it does really work. Even I have apply this learning style in my work place as well and it has really help me out to learn things really quickly. This means it is very much important to know our learning style because it saves our time, there won't be any stress or difficulty while  learning new things weather it is for your academic or work place.
