B. MAIN LESSON
The duration of this course is for one (1) semester. The course is divided into three (3) appropriate grading
periods with periodical exams after each. Time schedules are provided for each grading periods and
periodical exams and these should be strictly followed.
Each of the topics are assigned to the three (3) grading periods and are in modular form to guide you as
you study the course.
You have to accomplish the modules that are specified per grading period as they will be checked later
and the periodical exams will be based from them.
Each module is carefully designed to be concise but knowledge packed from sources which you will not
need to get hold on to while at home in whatever circumstances you are in even without an internet
connection or a library nearby. They are also designed in such a way that if a face to face instruction will
not be feasible, they can be done in the luxury of your home.

Contact Information:
Everyone processes and learns new information in different ways. There are three main cognitive learning styles:
visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. The common characteristics of each learning style listed below can help you
understand how you learn and what methods of learning best fits you. Understanding how you learn can help
maximize time you spend studying by incorporating different techniques to custom fit various subjects, concepts,
and learning objectives. Each preferred learning style has methods that fit the different ways an individual may
learn best.
VISUAL LEARNER
• Uses visual objects such as graphs, charts, pictures, and seeing information.
• Can read body language well and has a good perception of aesthetics.
• Able to memorize and recall various information.
• Tends to remember things that are written down.
• Learns better in lectures by watching them.
AUDITORY LEARNER
• Retains information through hearing and speaking.
• Often prefers to be told how to do things and then summarizes the main points out loud to help with
memorization.
• Notices different aspects of speaking.
• Often has talents in music and may concentrate better with soft music playing in the background.
KINESTHETIC LEARNER
• Likes to use the hands-on approach to learn new material.
• Is generally good in math and science.
• Would rather demonstrate how to do something rather than verbally explain it.
• Usually prefers group work more than others.

Activity 3: Skill-building Activities (with answer key) (18 minutes + 2 minutes checking)
Answer the questionnaire on ways of learning found below adapted from the DED (Deutscher
Entwicklungsdienst) Learner Type Test (2004). Fill out the number of points to corresponding way of learning.
Add the numbers you entered in the boxes. The way of learning with the highest total points will best describe
your learner type. Good Luck and Enjoy!
INSTRUCTIONS: Below are different ways of learning. To each statement, write the number of point/s in the
box on the right corresponding to how much you remember using this particular way of learning:
Write 3 points when you remember most by using this way of learning.
Write 2 points when you remember a number of things by using this way of learning.
Write 1 point when you remember least by using this way of learning.
Surprise! Please check the type of learner you are and understand the tips to improve your learning style.
If you are a combination of 2 dominant learner types then you have the ability to be flexible between
those types depending on the need of the situation.

“What details in the content and/or activities were not clear to you?”
None so far
It is a method of time management that encourages us to focus for 25 minute work or task, each followed by a
shorter break of 5 minutes or so.
The exact time can depend on the individual. Each of us has a different attention span but 25
minutes is brief enough that most people can keep up concentration even on a dull or repetitive
task, especially with the prospect of an imminent break.
A 3 to 5 minute break is considered ideal, because it gives your eyes and mind a rest, but avoids
stopping for so long that you lose track of what you are doing. Suitable break activities could
include going for a short walk outside, getting yourself a drink, doing some press-ups or playing
a tune on a musical instrument. However don't worry after four pomodoros, you are advised to
take a longer break of 20-30 minutes. So you will get your lunch or dinner.
