Learning Styles

Individuals take in and process information in different ways (e.g., seeing or hearing, reflecting or acting, logical reasoning or intuitive skills). For example, when a student with a visual learning style is in a classroom with a teacher who lectures only, this may not be the best learning environment.

It is helpful for students to understand their learning preferences to maximize academic performance and perhaps learn to bolster their weaker areas. Students wishing to investigate their particular learning styles should contact an academic counselor at their school.
