I see the stats shown by research, but I believe everyone has their most optimum method. I myself, if interested, will seek out all information on a topic if I am truly curious. Learning the material has a lot to do with action, but most of that time that action is driven by curiosity. Taking notes can be beneficial, but I prefer to soak it up in my own way. I'm sure not everyone does this.
I'm a young nigga with an older soul, but young enough that I know I gotta learn some more.
Lol! There is indeed independence behind how students learn, that is why a single lesson plan may not be effective for everyone. Learning how to learn is arguably one of the best things you could ever do for yourself, and if you've done that already there's nothing you can't learn!
