For example, you might prefer: • Learning through listening and hearing. • Learning through seeing images, watching demonstrations, and visualizing diagrams and charts. • Learning by experience through a hands-on approach by doing things. • Learning through reading and writing. Most experts believe that the most effective learning comes when a student engages in all of these activities. However, each individual is different and may benefit from one activity more than another. You can visit a number of different websites to determine your “learning style.” Try doing a search on the Internet with the key words “learning styles assessment.” Once you have found a suitable website, answer the questionnaire and the site will give you feedback on what method of learning works best for you. 9.
