Homework - Week 1 My learning style is to plan my thoughts and use them according to the ** Hermann Brain Dominance test. I learnt that I like to structure things from this test. **   
 * I slightly disagree with this. When there is school work to complete I usually don’t bother organizing it, but at home I like everything to be neat and I want other things like appointments to be organized before so that there is no confusion. **
 * I was a bit surprised to learn that I like to organize things at first, but then the more I thought about it, the more it made sense. **
 * I am not sure if I rely on just one learning skill. I would like to be more of a talker and a leader and be more creative. **
 * The test hasn’t really raised any questions about me as a person or me as a learner. **
