#my physical geography prof. did a lot of video lecture where she drew lil diagrams of the various processes

[amygdalae]

in school when youre a kid theres a lot more like. visual and tactile learning as part of class, and bright colors n such to keep children’s brains engaged with the material

and then when you grow up its much drier and you're (sorta understandably) expected to have more self-discipline and drive. so the importance of keeping students engaged in that way loses priority.

but dude real talk all that visual and tactile learning was actually one of the things that worked for me lol. like im smart and i know i can understand complex material but i struggle with my attention span in a way that most ppl are expected to have grown out of. like, not to sound like a child but sometimes i miss all the fun bells and whistles that used to accompany education? if that makes sense?

#ive definitely talked abt this before but i think abt it sometimes #i miss the passion and enthusiasm #its why i really like professors who are a little over-the-top and silly about their material. cuz it really is infectious #my physical geography prof. did a lot of video lecture where she drew lil diagrams of the various processes #and drawing along with them in my notes was so hugely helpful for me like suddenly i was able to remember and parse the material #cuz it was being presented in a way that works for me! #if feel like this just ties into the ongoing problem abt how every1 has different ways they learn the best #but most educational environments cant account for everyones different style of best absorbing info
