Not everyone learns in the same way. Some people learn best by hearing an explanation (auditory learners), while others get more out of reading or reviewing diagrams (visual). Still others learn best when they are involved in a hands-on activity and movement, such as in a laboratory (kinesthetic).
If you don’t know your learning style, there are workshops and resources to assist you. Below are some tips on techniques you can consider to maximize your learning in light of your particular learning style.
Just as students have different learning styles, so do your professors.
Your professors will tend to teach in a manner that reflects their
learning style. For example, an auditory professor may not write information
on the board as often as a visual person would. You need to be able
to adapt to be sure you utilize study and learning techniques that
reflect your learning style, despite the techniques used by your professor.
Take time during your first year at SJSU to identify your learning
style. Also experiment with different classroom and study techniques
that will enable you use your learning style to obtain the optimum
benefit.
