Week 9 - Review March 19 / 21 During the last week before Holy Week Multiple intelligence helps us to understand in which way it is easier for us to learn something for the first time, many tests can help us to have a better idea of what type of intelligence we have, it is important to mention that during this week we have done different tests to classify the learning styles, one of these tests we did with the help of a VARK questionnaire.
