Age can't be a hindrance for people to learn new methods and techniques.

Myth 6: Most people could achieve well Academically and Professionally if only they were self-motivated.

Some students find sound distracting and some find it calming.

Myth 11: Effective presentations require clearly stated objectives followed by detailed, step-bystep, sequential explanations until participants understand what is being taught.
some students do not like much structure and appreciate being given choices and allowed to be creative.

Myth12 : Eating should not be permitted in lecture rooms except at snack time; food belongs in the dining room only.

Myth 13: Participants learn difficult subjects best in the early morning, when they are most alert.

Conclusion: The best way for a person to learn depends on the person, of course. It is well known that people have different leaning styles that work best for them.
