Knowing the learning styles of your students

Hi Eric, thanks for your post to the forum. As you mention, the extra work we put in at the beginning of classes has big payoffs as the class progresses. Also, we develop strategies for working with the various learning styles that we can keep in our "tool kits" to use each time we teach a class. Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career. Susan Polick
