Generally speaking, there are three different learning types: Visual, Auditory, and Kinesthetic. You can be a combination of learning types, but most people have one type that dominates.
1．Visual learners learn best by seeing. If you seem to easily retain information from pictures, graphs, and videos, you are likely a visual learner.
2．Auditory learners learn best by hearing. If you seem to remember things by hearing them, whether listening to a lecture or repeating information out loud, then you are likely an auditory learner.
3．Kinesthetic learners learn best by doing. If you seem to learn best by working with your hands or testing out what you are shown, you are likely a kinesthetic learner.
So now that you know your personal learning style, the trick is to find out how to use your new-found knowledge to help you in your classes.
Tips for Visual Learners
1．Pay attention! For visual learners, this is very important. If your professor uses a PowerPoint, observe the pictures they might include and their significance.
2．Take notes by drawing graphs and connecting ideas instead of just copying down a list. This way, your brain will easily connect the different concepts.
3．Color code your notes. This will aid your brain in keeping all of the information separate.
Tips for Auditory Learners
1．Again, pay attention! If you aren’t listening while the lecture is happening, then as an auditory learner, you’re missing out on the easiest way for you to learn.
2．If you think it would help and you obtain permission from the professor, you can record the lecture for future listening.
3．If you find that taking notes draw you away from listening, ask a friend if you can borrow their notes or directly after the lecture, write down everything you remember.
Tips for Kinesthetic Learners
1．Guess what the first point is once again? You’ve got it, pay attention! For kinesthetic learners, it’s extremely important that you take notes either by writing or typing, in order to actively engage with information as you receive it.
2．Rewrite notes and reread information. If possible, translate the information into examples.
3．Take advantage of labs and other class activities. These moments are when you’re at your prime for learning. Concentrate on what you’re learning from the experience and pay close attention to the process that you go through.
