...Kinesthetic Learner There are three main learning styles which consist of visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. A visual learner learns best by visually seeing and reading what they are learning. An auditory learner enjoys listening to what is being taught in order to better comprehend the material. Kinesthetic learners are typically hands on learners. Kinesthetic learners use bodily communication to assist with learning amongst several other strategies is extremely helpful; however we can also have multiple distractions. Kinesthetic learners use physical activity to learn and comprehend information. When I took the learning styles quiz I scored a seven on the kinesthetic learning section, I also scored a five on the visual and auditory learning sections. Although my score shows that I have strong points in each learning aspect, the way I feel I learn to the best of my ability is through the kinesthetic learning style. The outcome of this quiz does not come to a surprise to me due to the fact I have always considered myself to have kinesthetic learning habits. There are numerous strategies that are used by kinesthetic learners. Thinking proactive and taking color coded notes, sitting in the back of the class in case you fidget, and being creative with power points or projects are great strategies to use. Personally I like to listen to Mozart and other non vocal music while I am studying, taking notes, or writing essays. Taking breaks, working in short intervals, and following...

...Julia Pezzullo Period 1 4/4/14 Style Essay This passage from The Great Influenza describes the scientific process and how a scientist must have the courage to “embrace” uncertainty to make the unknown known. Through the use of metaphors, analogies, and other rhetorical devices, the author further conveys a scientist’s tedious process to reveal a newfound truth. Barry begins by contrasting the strength and conviction of certainty with the weakness and fear of uncertainty. He uses clear, definitive language to convey broad ideas. He establishes direction in his second paragraph as he lists the qualities an ideal scientist should have. He emphasizes that a scientist must have “the courage to accept—indeed, embrace—uncertainty.” To conclude this paragraph the author uses Claude Bernard, a famous physiologist, as an authority to strengthen the make-up of a scientist. Barry opens the third paragraph with a metaphor, which strengthens the courageous aspect of a scientist. “A scientist must accept that all his or her work, even beliefs, may break apart upon the sharp edge of a single laboratory finding.” Barry then uses the example of Einstein to express this point of a total reversal of beliefs in an attempt to persuade the reader that to face a destruction of one’s convictions requires a far greater courage, to perceive uncertainty as an ally rather than a foe. Paragraph four starts to convey how a scientist must “create” the tools needed to shed light on what is unknown...

...Understanding Kinesthetic Learning Breanna Waller September 26, 2013 INFT 101 As I was making my way through the Learning Styles Assessment, I knew right off the bat which learning style I would learn more towards. Auditory, Visual, and Kinesthetic are the three more prominent learning styles. Auditory learning is when someone uses as much auditory learning as possible. For instance, reading out loud to get a better understanding. Visual learners usually sit closer to the front of the classroom and make things more colorful to stand out. Being a Kinesthetic learner, I understand that being able to move around is almost necessary to stay focused. Learning more about each learning style, I have been able to identify that I am a kinesthetic learner because it is essential to be able to practice what it is I have learned and be active and constantly apart of what is going on in order to gain a better comprehension of my studies. After going through the Learning Styles Assessment, it is clear that I am a kinesthetic learner. It definitely matches my personality. I think going through this assessment to be able to get a clearer understanding of how my learning style works was really great. Comparing my results to have I know I already learn what interesting to say the least. I noticed there were many similarities and there were also different ways to learn that may be more helpful. I have noticed that during my time with online learning, I have to be seated in an...

...Journal of Information Technology Education Volume 2, 2003 An Overview of Current Research on Automated Essay Grading Salvatore Valenti, Francesca Neri and Alessandro Cucchiarelli DIIGA - Universita’ Politecnica delle Marche, Ancona, Italy valenti@inform.unian.it neri@inform.unian.it alex@inform.unian.it Executive Summary Essays are considered by many researchers as the most useful tool to assess learning outcomes, implying the ability to recall, organize and integrate ideas, the ability to express oneself in writing and the ability to supply merely than identify interpretation and application of data. It is in the measurement of such outcomes, corresponding to the evaluation and synthesis levels of the Bloom’s (1956) taxonomy that the essay questions serve their most useful purpose. One of the difficulties of grading essays is represented by the perceived subjectivity of the grading process. Many researchers claim that the subjective nature of essay assessment leads to variation in grades awarded by different human assessors, which is perceived by students as a great source of unfairness. This issue may be faced through the adoption of automated assessment tools for essays. A system for automated assessment would at least be consistent in the way it scores essays, and enormous cost and time savings could be achieved if the system can be shown to grade essays within the range of those awarded by human assessors. This paper presents an overview of current approaches to...

Though both highway’s and gore’s introductory and concluding paragraphs are effective and persuasive, both of them use a different vocabulary style. Firstly, Highway’s introduction is very descriptive which paints an image in our mind (readers).whereas gore’s introduction in “The Moment of Truth” is effective because of providing scientific data to prove we are in a crisis and about criticism of the former president of the united states Mr. George Bush’s irresponsiveness to the number of environmental issues. Highway’s introductory paragraph is catchier because he use a descriptive way of narration which he gained from his real life experiences on the beauties of his countryside’s landscapes.

And also Al Gore’s introductory paragraph in “The moment of truth,” is also equally effective. He starts off with letting the readers about the big crisis we about experience. He makes it even more interesting by explaining the meaning of crisis in Chinese and the characters’ meaning...
