Learning

I rather see a documentary first, then do some research on my own second. And then I would love to sit and either hear a seminar on the subject or sit and listen to a first account history on the subject.The most useful thing I have learned was to listen, not just hear things but to really listen.

I prefer personal experience, reading, and discussions for learning, MarkyB21. While I spent quite some time in the classroom, I have found that that is the least effective way for me to learn.

I prefer to learn from every possible information I could gather, be it on life/people or in classrooms. Since there are things in this world that we never thought we knew of, it's better to be more open-minded and observant. I believe that learning is process of sharing and passing knowledge to one another, so it's better if we keep a wide array of resources and credible facts to keep ourselves on track.

I learn best in a hands on manner. Most of the time I only need to be shown something once if hands on and I can usually do it after that. I think the 2nd best way for me is thru reading or thru seminar. Visually seeing someone demonstrate can be helpful, but definitely not as well as being able to do it yourself.

Learning from the examples directly connected to the new things . Think that way, learning a new dance step may watch someone experienced behave ahead from your eyes, and you could get the most striking effort on knowing how to play it well. The first step is a thing, you know.
