The Application-Principle Learner


As an Application-Principle Learner, you have a high level of self-efficacy for writing and a high ability to initiate your work, plan ahead, resolve problems, self-evaluate, revise, and finish writing independently. You have a broad application of deep experience and knowledge; with increased experience will come the ability to apply (teach) knowledge to others. You take responsibility for your learning environment, and you know where to find help should you ever need it. You also know what tools and support you need to complete your work and you use them when necessary.
