Learning Style Assignment

Learning style is used to describe how individuals receive and process information. Everyone has different preferences of learning.

After that, they may jump to the overview of the chapter to get a big picture of the chapter. Also, they can try to relate every new concept to the materials that they already know. Study along with a big picture is more effective than study randomly. The suggestions are useful, and I will follow these methods when I doing my study next
