Learning Style Questionnaire: http://www.engr.ncsu.edu/learningstyles/ilsweb.html

My students: Please make sure to fill out this questionnaire and send me the results. After completing, make sure to read the “Description of Learning Styles”. We will meet to discuss what study techniques will benefit you the most and what project formats will best make use of your strengths.

That information can also be found here: http://www4.ncsu.edu/unity/lockers/users/f/felder/public/ILSdir/styles.htm
