Reflection on how my mentor has helped me

As my tutor was quite easy to talk to ,as I had found out in my personal tutorial.
From the advice he gave me I was able to get some help with what I was struggling with.
I was able to organise all the things I had to do.
I made a timetable of all the course work I had to do and how much I would try to achieve every day,so that  it would not all pile up at the end of the semester and I would not be stressed about it all.
He had also explained the consequences of not handing in work so I was quite scared so i had to get it all done.
The meeting had made me realise how much I had to do and that I had to be on top of my game,and take all my work seriously.

Reflection on my personal tutorial

I was quite worried about my personal tutorial,as I do not like like one on one meetings because I feel like I am being interrogated and I am quite shy and would not know how to answer the questions my personal tutor Martian Hancock would ask me.
My luck came in the day before my personal tutorial, Martian sent me an email saying his car had broken down and that he would not be able to make it to our meeting and he would reschedule it asap :) , I was quite happy about this as i had more time to get in to the frame of mind for the meeting.
The meeting took place the week after.
I was quite scared as Martian always looks so serious, but to my surprised he was quite warm,he asked me if i had any problems and how i was finding the course and the different modules,he actually smiled and cracked some jokes :D
He gave me some advice on how i should handle  the problems that i had.
he was quite the opposite of what i expected and it had taught me not to judge a book by its cover .

VARK Questionnaire

I took the VARK Questionnaire and got the following results:


-Visual: 12


-Aural: 8


-Read/Write: 7


-Kinesthetic:10


the result of my vark questionnaire seems to be quite precise, I learn more from visual things,like maps,graphs,spider diagrams,charts,labbelled diagrams.
But I also learn from demonstrations,  videos and movies of "real" things, as well as case studies, practice and application.
