Every teacher wants to improve teaching effectiveness, and a good place to begin is by understanding the various ways students perceive and process information.

Learning Style Perspectives addresses the learning needs of the students, taking into consideration individual preferences for absorbing and retaining material in an auditory, visual, or tactile manner. Lynne Celli Sarasin gives an overview of major theorists and synthesizes those theories into an approach to teaching which is easily applied in any college or university classroom setting. The characteristics of auditory, visual, and tactile learners are described along with appropriate teaching techniques, student reactions, and evaluation of each style of learning. Includes easily referenced charts of descriptors, teaching strategies, and student behaviors.
