What is your learning style?

[Vle045]

I learned years ago that the learning style theories are not based on research. Considering that I have ADHD, I learn from whatever I can pay attention to. Visual and audio lectures need to be interesting, and they're usually not. This is why I ended up avoiding Sophia and Study.com.

I don’t know if I have ADHD, (never diagnosed with it - but my son has it), but I can definitely say that certain types of things just do not keep my interest.  I am really TRYING to read this information for my classes at Walden and I just can’t.  I just finally finished reading 5 pages.  I think I started to fall asleep 6-7 times.  The same was true when I had a professor who just read from his book in a monotone voice.  I could NOT stay awake in that class no matter what I tried to do.   For me, it seems like I am good with watching a (charismatic) video then following up with some sort of interactive activity (like multiple choice with immediate feedback or something).  THEN I might be able to write a paper on a related topic.  So, I am struggling and just wanting to find something that works for me.  I got ONE competency finished.  ONE.  And the term ends August 2nd.  It’s not looking good for me to finish 3.75 credits.  
Since I couldn’t stay awake on my reading, I popped over to this forum….  Bad…. I know…..  but this keeps me awake.
