VARK Reflection
When i completed my VARK questionnaire i found out the best method of learning style for me is visual style and i was not really surprised by the outcome because in the past i have done questionnaire like VARK and the outcome was the same. I do agree with the result i found out by doing these questionnaire as i prefer watching demonstrations of the subject i am learning or visualizing the subject i am learning which helps me understand more about the subject, on the other hand visual learning style does not apply in all circumstance of the learning because sometimes just using diagrams and other visual methods would not help me understand the topic fully which would mean that i would need more explanation about the topic, looking at my result the second highest type of learning style is aural, so when i do not understand a subject or a topic i always tend to ask someone to explain it to me hence the aural learning style suits me too. i do not like or prefer reading/ writing much hence reflecting on my result as it appeared as my least favorite method of learning.

Learning Line
This is my learning line. By looking at this learning line it brings back memories of what i have achieved and my experience. Well i did my primary school at India and came to U.K when i was 13 which made a huge difference in my life and changed my life. I did my GCSE and decided to go to college to do BTEC diploma in IT where I spent 2 years to get my grades to get into higher studies, whilst i was at school and college I did various different part time jobs, which gave me different experience and skills, I gained customer service skills, communication skills, working in a team, leadership skills, improved my confidence in doing things and communicating. I loved playing cricket back in India and when came to UK i was able to take my cricketing passion to a all new level which was playing for local clubs and now training hard and trying to get into Essex county team, this year I had a great year of playing cricket as I got promoted to play for the my clubs first team .At present i am at A.R.U university doing computing degree and enjoying every bit of it.
