Many people claim listening to music helps them focus on their homework. I am the opposite. I cannot concentrate on my homework, while listening to the type of music I enjoy. I've tried once, while typing a paper and that did not work well. I started typing a word that I was hearing in the song, that I was listening too. I appreciate activities including, Scramble on Quizlet and the games on Duolingo. They are fun and help me focus on the material I need to learn.
