Learning style problem

Have You tried stop doing Handstands ?
Just a thought.

The only thing I can relate this to is wanting to know the detail before knowing the big picture. Often at the end of the course you get all the specialist, nitty gritty details and hints and tips within the specialist area - which floats my boat.

I often find myself bored in courses in that bit between 'learning outcomes' and 'details' as I don't see how they get to the details. I need to know the details, then build up my own picture about how I would get there, and it's often a very different route to the way the course was designed.

I read magazines from the back to the front, usually the shorter/fun articles are at the back, the earlier ones are the serious/heavy ones.

When I read academic writing for my studies, I have to read the conclusion first to see where they got to, then the discussion, to see how they made sense of it, then backwards to methodology.

We see the details first, so want to cut through the waffle to get to the details, and construct the waffle in our own way.

Maybe.

To me it makes much more sense to start from the last chapter and move to the beginning

Without knowing the principles that go into the training and the practice steps then the final chapter is likely to be confusing because you probably don't know the terms used and - if practice is required - then you feel unprepared for it.

I think I would also find that going to easier and easier chapters less likely to make me want to engage with it as well.

Can you explain why you believe the opposite to be true? I'm genuinely interested - so long as you are not trying to sell a course of exactly that nature that is.
