My Learning Preference

What did the ILS and VARK instruments tell you about your learning preference/learning style?  In what specific ways will you use this information to "leverage" your success in your current and future classes?

Learning and Education

One of the most important parts of Homer Hickam's story in Rocket Boys focuses on learning --  Homer learns so much about himself, his family and about rocketry -- at one point, Miss Riley tells him "All I've done is give you a book" indicating that there is some portion of education that is Homer's responsibility -- that she's not there to fill him up with education.  In what ways are you responsible for your own learning and education?  How are you facing up to and taking on that responsibility? 

Where do you see room for improvement?
