The Situational Learner
As a Situational Learner you have a strong capacity and desire to learn, but still need to build a solid base of experience and knowledge. Your writing skill is situation–dependent; you are able to understand your class content and assignments, but do not always align the two. You are usually motivated to develop your skills after receiving feedback. You can work well in one-on-one situations with a tutor or an instructor, and you might feel motivation when your instructor/tutor models the work you should do and reinforces your work when you get it right. You usually know when you need help and where to get it.
