Ditto to that. I am a teacher of massage and a student of acupuncture, formerly a K-8 teacher for 10 years. I think my Traditional Chinese Medicine instructors would have NO idea about what to do with being told to adjust to our learning styles. As _adult_ students we just suck it up and LEARN THE MATERIAL and it is a crazy amount of memorization. As adults, we take responsibility for forming study groups, creating our own guides and tools. So yes, it is important to understand learning styles and to vary teaching techniques, but even with massage, we have to triage information, time, and attention. I love classroom discussions, but they can and do put us behind schedule.
