The Abstract Sequential Learning Style

---

Abstract sequential learners work best when they

• have reading references and expert sources.
  "I want to check things out for myself."
  
  
• are sure of themselves.
  "I want lots of research to back up my argument."
  
  
• follow traditional procedures.
  "I need to work on my ideas, not discover a new way of presenting them."
  
  
• have time to learn material thoroughly.
  "There is so much information to read. How can you do it without time?"
  
  
• can work alone.
  "I like to do my work systematically, by myself."
  
  
• are respected for intellectual ability.
  "I value other's regard for me as an intelligent person."
  
  
• ask, "Why is this?"
  
  
• write analytical essays.
  "I'd much rather have one long essay to write for a whole period test than do a true/false test."Note: You know this will not happen in a math class!
  
  
• rely on lecture notes and written materials.
  "You can study best from good notes."
  
  
• do library research.
  "It's interesting to dig around in books."

Take a few moments and reflect on what phrases you have heard (by friends, relatives, teachers, etc.), or what comments you have made yourself, that show how you are a Abstract Sequential type thinker/learner.
