Read This! How "Typical" Learning Styles are a Myth

We have all heard about how some people are visual learners, or auditory learners.  The problem is, it's not true.  Today's article touches on why that is the case, and also on what are some true learning styles.  There are 3 types of learners:


  • surface learners, who do as little as possible to get by;
  • strategic learners, who aim for top grades rather than true understanding; and
  • deep learners, who leave college with a real, rich education.
When it comes to law school and the bar exam, it is most definitely the deep learners who perform well.  What does it mean to be a deep learner, and what can you do to become one?  This related article can give you some insight on that topic.
