Chapter 4 & 5

Chapter 4's approach to helping students get the most out of learning was by providing several lists of common personality categories and types of learning styles. I suppose that the goal of this chapter is to have students understand how they learn best, so that they can utilize their best ways of learning. I noticed that my two top strengths in intelligence, somehow, came to be tied at interpersonal and intrapersonal, which kinda contradict each other in concept (one suggests introversion while the other suggests extraversion). I never take such tests seriously, becuase my scores are generally all across the board.

Chapter 5 tought us how to think. Seriously. Most of it was simple, common sense knowledge, such as knowing when and how to determine if something that you hear is made up or real. But some people lack common sense, so I suppose it helps. It does helpfully explain how to state an argument, though. After a long quiz, I found out that I am classified as an information "consumer", which insultingly tells me that I can't gain knowledge outside of memorization.

My favorite title from chapter 5: "Avoid Making Bad Choices"
