Actually, it has little to do with the learner and more to do with how much there is to be learned. The steeper the learning curve, the more things one has to learn in a shorter amount of time; or the faster the increase in difficulty of the concepts to be mastered.

Additional: The metaphor "steep learning curve" originally came as a positive reference. A steep learning curve meant that one became quite proficient with a minimum amount of effort/time. It LATER came to be used in the opposite sense - as a negative reference to something difficult to learn (which actually is a shallow, not steep, curve!).
A learning curve is shown as a graph of "amount of learning" in the Y axis and the "amount of time or effort" in the X direction. A relatively 'normal' learning curve would be a sloping 's' curve, with its tail starting at the lower left and progressing to the upper right where the head of the s lies.
In common (technically incorrect) usage, "steep learning curve" is meant to indicate that to learn the subject/technique takes a long time and is difficult.

With a curved path you have to slow down to curve as with a straight path you dont have to slow down you can do as fast as you need to go to get threw it.
Lava will cool quickly compared to underground magma.
it depends on its shape thickones disslove fast andd slow ones disslove slowly
FIX IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 7/3/09 -- Above "answer" not helpful. I also am experiencing same symptoms, but with newly installed sink-bowl. Trap, etc. all CLEAR. I am similarly befuddled as to why COLD drains fast, but HOT drains slowly. The only plumbing change was addition of a horizontal rubber section (where the drain goes into the wall after the J pipes) for flexibility.
its going to be a rapid rate of change because it changes fast. a slow rate would be a steady or a smaller curve
The JLX Overdrive by Fast Lane is powered by a 12v battery. You can search it for a replacement part by Learning Curve.
The cast of Learning Curve - 1990 includes: Mark Dias as Fast Eddie Roger Gutierrez as Don Castro Tohoru Masamune as Mr. Igetsu Elisabeth Nunziato as Mrs. Lopez Ivan Sandoval as Dr. Garcia Daniel Treharne as Jerry
When a fast ball and curve ball are mixed together it is called a slider.
why is the upper river with its fast flowing steep valley suitable for animal grazing
Slowly
steep canyons can form when down cutting is slow or fast
it depends on how steep the slope is.
Depends on how steep the hill is.
A fast ball is when the pitchers throws the ball straight at the strike zone, it doesn't curve (curve ball) or lower (slider), it goes straight ahead.
Yes, the curve ball curves. This is because of the way the ball is thrown, which is a kind of a spin/jerky fast motion.
The following is the meaning of"fast learning:"Fast learning is learning quickly... which obviously you haven't or else you would know what fast learning is Big Stuff.This question was answered by a truly respectful fifth grader that goes by the name of Catherine.. She can be a smarty pants.. So shove this in your juice box and SUCK IT!
