Visual Learners • High Visual learners tend to learn information by seeing(i.e. reading or watching). • Reading textbooks, material on the board or on overhead projectors, as well as demonstrations and diagrams are helpful

Learning Styles • Although you may prefer or find a specific learning style more useful that does NOT mean you should limit self. • Most people do not strictly fall into one learning style. • Incorporate different studying techniques from each style.
