Seminar: What's Your Learning Style? In preparation for this week's seminar, take a

look at your results for the LASSI assessment which you completed in Unit 3 and complete the Cornerstone reading assignment. In seminar, we will discuss learning styles, how you learn best, and how you can make your learning style "work" for you.

The authors of Cornerstone identify three different learning styles: Visual, Auditory, and Tactile. This video from Durham College in Canada explains the styles in a slightly different way (in the video, Tactile is referred to as Kinesthetic): view the video.
