Are you a visual, auditory, or kinesthetic learner? How can you tell, and why is it important for you to know? Let's address the last part first. It's important for you to understand what kind of learning style works best for you so that you can use this knowledge to boost the amount of information you learn. When you have a choice, you can select the method you know works best. In addition, being aware of your learning style might also help you select the teachers who will help you the most, or avoid those whose teaching styles might not be as helpful to you.
What is a visual learner?
Visual learners best master information by seeing it first. If your teacher is speaking about a new topic, and it becomes clearer to you after she writes out what she's saying on the board, chances are you're a visual learner. When you have a choice of study materials, people who are visual learners should choose the written or illustrated resource over the audio resource. When you take new information in through your eyes, it just sticks in your brain better.
Who is an auditory learner?
Picture it: your teacher passes out a handout and asks you to read it. You do the best you can, but you find that the new information that the handout contains makes much more sense when your teacher explains it to the group after you've all read it. If this situation sounds familiar to you, you're probably an auditory learner. When you have a choice about course materials, choose hearing over seeing. Some people don't like teachers who solely lecture, but for you, this method will be terrific.
Who is a kinesthetic learner?
For you, reading and listening are distant seconds to doing. Maybe you've found in your math class that your teacher can explain something to you until the cows come home, and you can read your book until your eyes go blurry, but nothing works better than going up to the board and figuring out that darn problem for yourself. Kinesthetic learners can have the toughest time of all three types of learners in college. Usually, a fair amount of reading and listening in a college classroom is a given. Engaging in an activity that helps you engage with the material happens less frequently. If you're a kinesthetic learner, do not despair, however. My best advice to you is to go to your professor and present yourself as a kinesthetic learner. He or she might not be able to change what happens in the class itself, but together you can work on formulating activities that will help you master the material in your own way.
