Study Strategies by Learning Style

Visual Aural Read/Write Kinesthetic
Underline or highlight your notes. Talk with others to make sure your lecture notes are accurate. Write and rewrite your notes. Use all your senses in learning: sight, touch, taste, smell, and hearing.
Use symbols, charts, or graphs to display your notes. Record lectures (with permission) or record yourself reading your notes aloud and listen to either or both. Read your notes silently. Add to your notes with real-world examples.
