Your timetable should reflect your learning style. There are five different types of learning styles - they are:
- Visual learner – Learning by looking at a picture
- Aural learner- having an ear to the ground and picking up information by listening.
- Verbal learner- Learning by reading and writing
- Physical learner – learning by the physical presence
- Logical learner – learning by rationalizing
Find your learning style and according to that build your timetable.
You may even be a solitary learner or social learner. If you are a social learner, develop your timetable around group discussions.
