randomness

SOOOO that little quiz we had to take online said pretty much nothing about how i learn. It said i have a mild tendency toward kinesthetic learnig, but not enough to make much difference. these were my scores
visual 1
aural 2
read/ write 5
kinesthietic 7
see what i mean. All this told me is that i dont learn very well visually or aurally. I already knew that you stupid quiz. You were supposed to tell me which of the other two ways i learn best. They suggest that I do labs/ more hands-on things to learn which i generally have to do anyway. Thats about it.

Now on to Giamatti. I think Giamatti characterizes liberal learnig as "education that can spark a lifelong love of learning." this is a quote taken directly out of the text. I think this means that Liberal learning gives you a type of education that gives you the passion for learning more for the rest of your life. I think this directly mirrors what we have been taught so far about Wartburg's mission. Wartburg tries to give us all a passion for Service, Leadership, Faith and Learning. I think that in Faith and learning comes all the rest, but the type of learning is what sparks the passion for all future learning. Wartburg, in giving us a well- rounded liberal education, gives us that type of learing that is needed to spark that love of learning.
