Being an independent learner Two characteristics of an independent learner I already have would be that I know where to find information I need and I know who to ask in case of difficulty. The first one is because I always try to get the information I need from the bibliography recommended by my professors, I try to check as many books as I can. You can say I take advantage of my library membership. Besides college, when I want to learn something, for whatever reason, I like to get the necessary information from verifiable sources. Most of the time I took the information from internet and, as we all know, internet is also full of fake information and garbage. That's why I always try to find sites with verifiable information, published by respectable organizations. Regarding to knowing who to ask in case of difficulty, in case of college of course I always try to clarify any doubts with my professors. And about everything else, whenever I have the opportunity, I like asking to experienced people who have plenty knowledge about what I’m trying to learn. On the other hand, some characteristics I think I need to develop would be learning to set my own short- and long-term learning goals and being able to identify areas where I am weak and need to do further work. I think both problems are related to my lack of organization, I'm more of an improvised person and I'm unable of keeping a routine, setting goals or whatever. This is something I definitely need to do further work but I just haven't find what to do about it. I tried many of the most recommended techniques but nothing seemed to give any results.
