Unit 1: Goals
In this unit we want you to think about what makes the ideal GCU student. Not only that, we want you to think about what you expect from us. You can refect on the experiences that you have had and how they may be more similar to student life than you expect.
We will look at what makes an independent learner and how this may be different from your previous learning experiences. You will also learn about the different learning styles, be able to identify your own and understand why it is important to you and your studies.
Understanding your learning style helps you get the most out of your university academic experience. Understanding the theory of learning styles helps you to present your work in the optimum way to a wider audience.
