MY LEARNING STYLE
I am a type of learner who learns mostly through kinesthetics and sometimes through reading and writing. As a kinesthetics learner, I prefer to learn things by doing, I enjoy a hands-on experience. I usually prefer to be more in touch with reality and more connected to it, which is why I prefer using tactile experience to understand something better. The best way to present new information to me as a kinaesthetic learner is through personal experience, practice, examples, or simulations.

Hello, Jamiu!
Thank you for your learning goals and competences. They are rather compact, but nevertheless, your learning goals and competences are clear!
This internship will provide a new insight into a different setting within a hospital now that you’re going to deal with surgical patients, but also as you’re doing this internship as a peer-internship together with Rezwan. With this internship you both will do a lot of teamwork, while also taking part in mutual learning process accompanied with your mentor. Take this advantage into account, and remember to utilize the power of teamwork throughout your internship! 🙂
Since this is your first internship in a hospital setting, remember to take some time to make yourself familiar with the working environment. It can be quite tiring at first, but once you get used to the setting, the learning really starts! 🙂
I have now accepted your learning competences. All the best for the internship, and remember to contact me by email whenever there’s something you’d need to know! 🙂
