It's easier for me to understand content when notes are not only on the board, but there is also a printed out copy of the google slides. This helps me stay organized and engaged during class.

It's difficult for me to understand content when I am listening to a teacher giving a lecture with no breaks or pictures or anything interactive worked into the lesson. Also I must have a physical copy of notes to be able to study form.

It's easiest for me to work when I am able to collaborate with friends. Also when assignments on on a paper worksheet something physical is easy to study form and  helps me to work efficiently.

It's difficult for me to work when teachers give hard deadlines. I get all my work turned in on time, however, I need to force myself not to procrastinate. Also I need a quiet work area to work in and not have any distractions.

It's easiest for me to demonstrate why I've learned when I am giving a presentation or creating a video to present a project to the class.

It's difficult for me to demonstrate why I've learned when I have to take a large test. I get very nervous for large test and then over study, which is not an efficient use of my time. In the end test cause me more stress than needed.
