Module 5 - Learning Styles and Study Skills Working Together

Knowing your learning style is the first step of discovering how you can learn and study more effectively, using your natural strengths. In this next section, we'll take a look at study skills and how they relate to particular learning styles. As you learn more about yourself, think about how you can help the students who come to you apply these principles to their own study time.

There are so many resources available to students online with topics ranging from notetaking to test taking. You may have an opportunity to use some yourself, or to tell a student about one or more of these resources that may be of help to them.

Module 5 Lab:

This site will help you identify Study Skills as they relate to the Learning Styles we talked about earlier.

Please answer the following questions.

1. What advice would you give to a student who is primarily a visual learner who is in a class with an instructor who only lectures?
