Top Students Learning Habits

Do you need to have high IQ to do well in your studies?

Do you need to work very hard to become a top student?

The answers to the above questions: No! It is all about "Self-Discipline" and set priorities to do what you like to do (not necessarily studies).

Learning Styles Don't Actually Exist

Finding meaning from what you are learning is more important than having good memory or excellent sensory mode. The fun of learning sets in when you are able to understand the reason for doing so, value the information, make sense of what you are seeing/reading and try to apply it in your own settings.

I find that this TEDx Talks on "Learning styles & the importance of critical self-reflection" by Dr. Tesia Marshik very insightful to us as an educators and all the learners. I now learned that there is no such thing called 'learning styles' and in order for us to learn effectively, we need to find the reasons for you to learn something. Hence, critical self-reflection is important for us to benefits from the learning experience instead of relying on a variety of materials given.
