Do you prefer listening to a lecture or reading a book? Perhaps you would rather work hands on? Do you like working alone or in a group? Students are diverse in their preferred and most effective learning styles and everyone learns more when a variety of styles are employed. Instructors also have their preferred and effective styles. Learning what these styles are can help you identify your strengths and expand on your weaknesses.  

Here are some sites with information on learning styles.
 

• VARK
  The VARK guide to learning styles offers an online and printable questionnaire to help you or your students identify one or more preferred styles, and study strategies that target four of these styles.
