13. Visual*Auditory*Kinesthetic
Always have the "big picture" before you go to class or start reading your textbook.
Find a way to use/ create graphs, charts, illustrations or other visual aids
When trying to remember things, close your eyes to get a “picture” or image of the information to facilitate recall
Auditory:
After you read a page in your textbook, summarize the information out loud in your own words. Repeat facts with eyes closed.
Record your instructor’s lecture, and if you are a commuter, listen to the tape on the way home, either in your car or on the bus or subway.
Discuss the material that you have been learning with a friend or study group.
Kinesthetic:
Create learning opportunities to ‘try it out’
Use many of your senses as possible when you study:  see, hear, touch, taste, and smell. This creates an experiential learning environment.

16. Growth vs. Fixed Mindset
Growth Mindset
A “fixed mindset” people believe their basic qualities, like their intelligence or talent, are simply fixed traits. They also believe that talent alone creates success—without effort. They’re wrong!
People with a “growth mindset,” believe that their most basic abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work—brains and talent are just the starting point.
