Knowing the learning styles of your students

Hi Shafi, No matter what class you are teaching, by varying your delivery you will reach all the learning styles. So, For a finance or Acct. class you could lecture a bit with a powerpoint, perhaps find a short video, maybe have students work in teams on a small project etc. Best wishes! Susan Susan Polick

Knowing the learning styles of your students

Hi Nicole, Thanks for your post to the forum. So many students come to higher education with no idea about their learning styles. When we help them to "connect the dots" it is thrilling to see how much better they can learn. Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career. Susan Susan Polick
