Active Learners

Learners who learn from doing, prefer hands-on application, thrive in lab classes, and retain concepts best through discussion with others.

Reflective Learners

Learners who learn by thinking material through internally, prefer working alone, and benefit from reading text multiple times and taking detailed notes.

Sequential Learner

A learner who absorbs information one piece at a time in a step-by-step, logical order.
