Before beginning, all students will be shown how to determine their learning style. Special instructions will be given on how to use their style effectively in their studies. A sample of the learning style inventory follows.
Directions: This inventory contains statements about how
people like to learn. Read each
statement carefully. These statements
have no right or wrong answers; your response to each statement should reflect
the way you feel. Your immediate or
first answer is usually the best response.
Make only one choice for each statement. Please respond to all statements.
Circle
the number, which agrees with how you feel about each statement.
