2. In what ways should you study in order to learn most effectively?
Practice, visual realistic examples. Creative homework.
3. What learning methods have you used in your previous studies ?
Aural and Read/Write. In schools and univercities in Russia students usually have lectures at lessons
and something to read or write at home. Usually no group work or practice. As a result, it taked few
years after school for me to understand who i want to be. I have tried differect degree programms
in universities, worked at many jobs to find myself. But if i had opportunity to practice more in
school, i would choose my way much earlier.
4. How do you think those methods differ from inquiry learning?
Inquiry learning helps to solve problems like in real life. You can read 1 million of books but without
practice it leads nowhere.
5. How could you adapt your learning methods in order to succeed in your studies in Haaga -
Helia Porvoo Campus.
I can transform information into visual sample. Provide work with lots of examples. Design the idea.
