A. Learning plan

are many different approaches for learning. It is generally accepted

different approach for different tasks. You can either use a holistic

Holistic
learners consider the overall picture of a task and gradually fill the
details.
Serial
approach
Serialist
learners concentrate on one aspect at a time.

your approach is you must have a learning
plan.
A learning plan is a kind of map that will show how
you will achieve your goal (learning output).

start very enthusiastic and after a while we stop and we fell very
disappointed. This usually happens because people do not have a
plan.

the research we carried out at UoW, it seems that 80% of the students
who took part agree that having a plan is a necessary step of success.
66% (of the previous 80%) say that they usually make a plan and 90%
(of the previous 80%) of them follow their plan (at least at the main
points). |
The basic
steps of a successful plan can be summarised as follows:
