Learning Preferences
Which one of the following descriptions is most like you or motivates you the most? (There is no right answer. I work with every type.)*

I prefer a lot of information given at once, like a crash course that I can go home, dissect, and learn over time. I prefer small amounts of information with more depth; I like to know why I’m doing things and make sure I’m doing them right. I’m in a hurry and have deadlines that need to be met. Give me all the tools and I’ll do them my way. I don’t really care. I just want to get better and I’ll do whatever is recommended and easiest for the instructor.
