What's the best way for you to learn? Do you absorb more information
from a lecture than a book? Would you rather watch a demonstration or
do it yourself? Educators agree that people learn in different ways,
including auditory (hear it), kinesthetic (do it), and visual (see it). Several
assessments have been designed to evaluate a person's learning style, such as the Group Embedded Figures Test (GEFT), Felder's Index of
Learning Styles, and Kolb's Learning Style Inventory.
