Computer Tips and Tricks

I would have to say that I am not the most computer literate person around and my computer is a little outdated, which causes me major headaches. One of the biggest problems I have with my computer is it freezing on me, then shutting down programs completely. This is not only annoying but has the potential to erase any work I am in the middle of doing (which means I hit save alot, and is a good idea for anybody). One way in which I can figure out which program is causing my computer problems or making it slow down is to hit ctl+alt+delete. It pulls up a list of programs that are currently open and will tell me which ones are responding properly and which ones aren't. I then have the option of shutting down the programs that are causing my computer to run slow.

Learning Styles

I think that the results of my learning styles quiz is fairly accurate. My highest score was for interpersonal learning. At first, I was not sure about this. However, when I looked up the definition of interpersonal, it said that these learners like to talk out problems and give and receive feedback. This is definitely me. I often find myself talking out loud to solve a math problem or even a difficult English problem, and I always find it helpful if someone is near me to bounce my thoughts and ideas off of. I also like getting feedback on assignments I turn in. I also scored high in the verbal-linguistic and logical-mathematical which makes sense because I enjoy problem solving and have always been good with words. I also think the areas in which I scored low was correct. I am not a very musical or artistic person and usually dislike these activities.
