LEARNING STYLES & EMOTIONAL LANGUAGE
“Tell me, Ill forget
Show me, Ill remember
Involve me, Ill understand”
Understanding this is another effective way of communicating. Engineers and surveyors spend 60% of their career communicating. Learning styles differ person to person, therefore the method of communicating data should be tailored to suit the majority of the audience.

AUDIBLE
KINESTHETIC
This presentation was interesting for me as I began to think about how the effectiveness of these learning methods is actually a cross with the communication presentation. To start with, no method of education will be effective if not properly communicated. This however is not necessarily communication from a teacher to a student though. In my case the most effective way to learn is to teach it to somebody else. When doing this it forces me to think through what I am actually trying to communicate and therefore commits it to memory far more effectively.
TOM HOLLANDS – SPATIAL VISION & CHRIS POWELL – CAT
I have combined my assessment of these two presentations because I feel like they both were trying to convey the same message, the importance of interviews and trusting yourself. Both Tom and Chris have had a variety of different jobs before landing where they are today and both attribute this movement and variety to their end success. Chris especially stated that if he hadn’t applied and interviewed for as many different jobs as he had, then he wouldn’t have been as practiced by the time he got to the CAT grad interview. This practice in turn developed a confidence that allowed Chris to promote his best self for the position.
