What is your dominant learning style?

As we review for tests, I think it will be helpful for you to think about how you learn.

The online supplements I have created for you have many components: you can hear words and definitions, you can see them, or you can learn in the context of a game where you can compete with friends or against yourself. These online supplements are designed to cater to many (but not all) learning styles.

Take the following quiz on your chromebook.
