EXP105_G30 Discussions Week 2 - Discussion 2-Identifying Your Learning Patterns

List the numeric scores and level of use (Use First, Use as Needed, or Avoid) for each of the four Learning Patterns, then identify whether you are a Dynamic, Bridge, or Strong-Willed Learner.

Sequence (30) = first use, Precise = first use, (25) Technical (16) = Avoid,

Confluent (15) =Avoid

I am a Dynamic Learner

For each Learning Pattern (Sequence, Precision, Technical Reasoning, and Confluence), write a paragraph of four to five sentences describing your thoughts, feelings, and actions when using that Pattern.

Sequence as a first use level in my case is correct.  I like to complete and task I start with solid and clear instructions.  I have a motto that says, do it right the first time, just imagine how much more can be completed.  When I complete a task in the allowed time, it makes me feel accomplished and I feel as if I contributed my time and knowledge to make something better.

Precise is a first use level for me because I do ask questions to ensure that we are on the same page before completing something that may be wrong.  Being in the military makes you aware of accuracy, and to pay attention to details.  It makes me feel like I did exactly what I was asked to do, and in a neat manner.  I guess I do need the approval of my instructor to feel more complete.

Technical is kind of funny to me as to I don’t take things apart to see how they work, and I do pay others to put things together and repair things, how ironic.  By any means necessary, I do avoid any constructional work, even Lego blocks.  I don’t like to waste time, because that’s one thing you can’t get back.

Confluent to me is like my technical use of level, I avoid wasting my time or taking risks of doing something that’s not prosper.  Life is hard enough to be trying to learn from a mistake. Again, do it right the first time and time is saved.  I try to avoid anything that is a waste of time and energy.
