A- o a e an a di o lea ne

This means ou find it easier to solve problems and remember ne information b

listening to lectures, follo ing spoken instructions and repeating things out loud. During
lectures ou like to listen carefull to hat the speaker is sa ing and ho the are
speaking. You sometimes like to use visual stud aids hen the are accompanied b
some form of audio information, such as a recording of a lecture.

B- o a e a kinae he ic lea ne

This means ou find it easier to solve problems and remember ne information b

ph sicall and mentall e ploring the orld around ou. During lectures ou prefer to
participate in interactive activities. You tend to dislike sitting and listening for long
periods of time during talks and discussions.

C- o a e a i al lea ne

This means ou prefer to learn through observation and visualisation. During lectures
ou like to create detailed notes of hat is being said, hile carefull observing the
speaker and our learning environment. Visual aids are so ke to our learning that ou

 CELL PHONE ETIQUETTE FOR STUDENTS

• Turn oN cell phones BEFORE you enter the classroom. Put it in your backpack.
• If you are awaiting an urgent call, inform your instructor before class, then set your phone to “VIBRATE” mode
• Texting is just as rude as taking a phone call during class. Remember: you are in class to learn not to socialize.
• Cell phones should never be on in the library. Treat it like you would a classroom. Take your phone call outside.
• When outside or elsewhere on campus, talk with a low voice.
• Attend face-to-face business absolutely. It is impolite to be on the phone when someone is taking your order in
the cafeteria, purchasing at the bookstore, making your appointment to meet with a counselor,
or anyone else expecting your full attention.
