I tried taking online courses before stopping them from being disinterested. I thought I needed to see the class, the teachers and the students working to engage me in the class, but now I realize I needed to hear the teacher speak so I could understand what he was saying and have a discussion where I could find a solution to all my questions. While you can have a conversation over email, it doesn't have the same power as hearing feedback and being able to have an open conversation. I enjoy having lively debates with my teachers and peers like a game of tennis; each knowledge at bat comes and goes until we are exhausted. Another part of my preference for auditory learning is that I like to talk to myself to solve problems and work on things I learned in class earlier to make sure I understand them well. This is why I believe I learn best in a classroom setting with a teacher who inspires thought and creates an environment for healthy debate. I learned a lot from my father and the amazing novels I read, I also learned a lot from my life experiences which I believe gave me an edge in the field.
