Learning Styles & Study Environment

Did you know that you learn information in different ways, or how you are most effective at assimilating this information? In order to find ways to study more effectively, you first need to understand how you learn. Take one or more of the following Learning Style assessments to determine what type of learner you are and how best to adapt the class and your studying habits to most effectively learn and understand the material.  Then take one or more of the Study Habits assessments to determine which study habits may be weak for you.
