Topic > Learning Weaknesses Essay - 1119

As mentioned before, interacting with the class tends to be a hindrance due to the lack of interest I find in the learning topics. The authors of the book discussed a method to make the learning and memory process more fun and effective, the multisensory method defined as the method that involves the senses in interacting with a text. According to Doyle and Zakrajsek, they describe an example of the multisensory method as a way to make the reading process easier as follows: “By using the pencil, you add the sense of touch to the reading process, making it multisensory” (49). This means that when the sense of touch is added to the reading process, it becomes part of the memorization of the reading. I am the type of student who always needs to interact with the text because for me it is a way to review what I have learned and also to understand whatever is being discussed. This technique would help me become a better student because I will engage and prepare for class discussion and also be able to ask students questions.
