8 When Learning Styles and Teaching Styles Conflict
Instructors tend to teach in ways that conform to their own styles of learning When you recognize a mismatch between how you best learn and how you are being taught Take control of your learning process Don’t depend on your instructor Employ your own preferences, talents, and abilities to study and retain information

9 Learning with a Disability
Different learning disabilities affect people’s ability to interpret what they see and hear Attention disorders Daydream excessively, easily distracted ADD, ADHD Cognitive learning disabilities Dyslexia—a developmental reading disorder Learning disabilities are not related to intelligence
