Just a few days ago, I was “helping” my sister with her assignment because well, she is really running out of time. (Now, now, let’s put the ethics discussion aside)
Anyway, my “mission” is to read a few chapters of her textbook and help do some e-learning… I thought it won’t be as difficult but…
I haven’t been someone who enjoy reading, so it took me many days (2 days) to just do 3 quizzes and 2 shot questions.
I realised the different between reading and understanding and then applying. It takes a lot to be able to just read a textbook, without previous knowledge (of the subject) or interest, to fully be able to understand and apply the theories…

I like learning by myself, but it definitely helps if the topic is interesting.
Yes, I agree too, anyway you probably won’t try to learn something you don’t enjoy, at least you wouldn’t “self-learn”
LOL
That’s true, but sometimes it can be necessary to learn something that we are not genuinely interested in.
hes a very power full man
pardon me, but you mean who?
Some subjects can be taught fairly well wwith no other assistance, but others need more HELP lol
I have to agree, and some need lots of practice … it really depends but as those below have mentioned, focus is important also
I help my grandson with mathematics. Here is an important foundation. Mathematics is an exact science. And for reading, everything else should be excluded from the “brain” to get it right.
yes, that is so true…
I guess I have too much temptations around me and my attention span is really very short…
Wow! Great photography!
Hmm. Yeah You are Right.
I’m a self-taught person. I often read to compare it with my imagination, thought, or idea. If I read something I have not read before, I will usually immediately raise questions in advance in order to be interested in finding the answer in it. If there is something interesting to do, I will try it to practice it or prove it. There are always obstacles such as loss of focus, boredom, or hard to understand if we are less interested indeed.
yes, probably I don’t have much interest in most things … hahaha oops
I think everyone has a different interest, focus, and passion as you and I can both see our own specificity.
You have to stay focused, that was always my problem with reading.
you’re right!
I probably wasn’t focused enough and I wasn’t too interested in the topic…
but thanks for the tips 😉
probably something I need to work on.
