People bring different talents and styles of learning to college. Brilliant students in the seminar room may be all thumbs in the lab or art studio. Students rich in hands-on experience may not do so well with theory. Students need the opportunity to show their talents and learn in ways that work for them. Then they can be pushed to learn in new ways that do not come so easily." Chickering, A. & Gamson, Z. 1987, "Seven principles for good practice in undergraduate education", Reprinted by Honolulu Community College, viewed 20 June 2007, URL: http://aahebulletin.com/public/archive/sevenprinciples1987.asp "A better understanding of learning styles can benefit not only educators but also their students. Students benefit by using knowledge about their particular learning style to better manage their learning."
