SWOT and VARK

Strengths – determination, good researcher, puts in the hours, not too proud (not afraid to ask for help), work well with others.
Weakness – lack of confidence, slow at typing, slow at understanding the work, time management.
Opportunity – degree, meeting new people, boosting confidence, better future, learning all sort of new things.
Threats – too much socialising, sleep deprivation, having to fend for myself i.e. cook, facebook, films and TV shows.

visual – 1

Aural – 3

Read/Write – 4

Kinesthetic – 5


According to the Questionnaire and the website I am a Kinesthetic, which means that I prefer to do practical things. This comes as no surprise as I do prefer to do practical things a.k.a. coursework etc.i realised this after failing my AS-Levels in History and Geography.
The thing that did surprise me is read/write as I don’t like reading or writing/typing (I cannot write for very long). I guess it’s because I’m at university and I have to read and write lots of stuff. Although it’s not my preferable learning style its probably out of necessity.

  1. To most students the VARK questionnaire comes as no surprise - you probably don't realise that you are taking in more information than you realise from reading, which is why this style is so prevalent.
    You now have completed the PDP element of the module and have gained your 10% mark for it. You now need to complete the literature review.
