Designed to help students identify their individual learning style preferences and develop efficient study practices, these sessions are led by trained peer leaders. Additional topics of discussion may include time management, note taking, test anxiety, and test preparation. Open to any student with an interest in improving their study practices, these sessions are offered each term and are free of charge.
The Index of Learning Styles is an on-line instrument used to assess preferences on four dimensions (active/reflective, sensing/intuitive, visual/verbal, and sequential/global) of a learning style model formulated by Richard M. Felder and Linda K. Silverman of North Carolina State University. Unlike many learning styles inventories, the ILS was specifically designed for use by college students.
