Total ______

If you are a visual learner, then by all means be sure that you look at all study materials. Use charts, maps, filmstrips, notes, and

flashcards. Practice visualizing or picturing words/concepts in your head. Write out everything for frequent and quick visual review.

If you are an auditory learner, you may wish to use tapes. Tape lectures to help you fill in the gaps in your notes. But do listen and

take notes, reviewing notes frequently. Sit in the lecture hall or classroom where you can hear well. After you have read something,

summarize it, and recite it aloud.

If you are a tactile learner, trace words as you are saying them. Facts that must be learned should be written several times. Keep a

supply of scratch paper for this purpose. Taking and keeping lecture notes will be very important. Make study sheets.
