Directions:

 

Go to my website, www.paulkrieger.com > BI 121 > How to Succeed in Anatomy & Physiology.  Read the entire document.  Then, follow the directions in point #1 where it asks you to go to the Òvark-learnÓ web site.  Discover what is your learning style and read the suggestions for how you should study.  Then, read the rest of ÒHow to Succeed in Anatomy & PhysiologyÓ and make notes about the suggestions you find most helpful to you.  Then, begin to write your paper.  It should be divided into four (4) parts:

 

1)       Describe the results of the Òvark-learnÓ survey.  What type of learner are you?  Do you agree or disagree with this assessment?  Why?  Explain.

2)       What study techniques were recommended by the Òvark-learnÓ site?  Have you used these methods before?  Do you feel they might be helpful?  Why or why not?

3)       According to the paper ÒHow to Succeed in Anatomy & PhysiologyÓ, what suggestions do you feel will work best for you?  Why?  Discover your greatest study weakness and write a strategy about how you will conquer it to become a better independent learner.

4)       Was this exercise useful to you or not?  Do you have any strategies that were not suggested that have worked well for you in the past?  If so, what were they?     

 

Format:

 

Your paper must be typed, double-spaced and between 1.5 to 2 pages in length.  Do not go over 2 pages.  The title for the paper, ÒMy Learning Style and Study PlanÓ, should be centered on the top of the page.  In the header in the upper right hand corner should be your name, BI 121, course day and time, and the date.  Put it in a smaller font (about 9 or 10 pt.) than the rest of the paper.  For the body of the paper do not use a font larger than 12 pt.  Use standard margins.

 

Grading:

 

You will be evaluated on the following:

 

1)       Using proper format and correctly following directions.

2)       Proper length (1.5 to 2 pages).

3)       Proper English, grammar, and spelling. 

 

(NOTE:  You will NOT be graded on whether or not you agree with the results of the Òvark-learnÓ survey.  Feel free to express your opinion.  This is encouraged.)
