Discover Your Learning Style
The Uni of Melbourne, as part of their 'Success in Tertiary Study' web resource, has developed a resource for uni students to discover their learning style...

"People learn and process information in a variety of ways. Some have particular strengths in some areas and weaknesses in others (for example, Einstein was dyslexic but excelled in Physics).



A learning style refers to how the mind receives and processes information. There are many different systems and inventories for determining learning styles. Some subjects tend to favour certain learning styles. For example, Philosophy may favour a more abstract thinking style compared with Art which may benefit from a more practical style. "

To discover your learning style, have a look at the website:
