Today my group discussed how memorizing content while in high school very well could have affected our learning style as we begin at a higher level of education. As many people will experience, transitioning from high school to college can be a challenging adjustment. With that being said, many students must adapt to another learning and studying style. While in high school it is almost too easy to memorize the information that is being thrown at us, after all, once that unit is over the subject is barely touched on again. This gives students a reason to memorize information only so they can excel on an exam. College on the other hand is far different. College is a choice for most people, and we are expected to want to learn about the information we are given because it will help us build onto the knowledge we need for a desired job. A college student must learn the content that they are given rather than just memorizing because these topics will never go away. Once your major is declared, the courses that you take will only be beneficial information that you must know for your career. Memorizing is a very easy way to get through; but in order to completely understand the information we are given, you must learn the content.
