There are quite a few theories regarding learning styles. You certainly may have run across a few of them by now or perhaps even taken a test to to ascertain your own learning style. The assignment is to take the two learning styles tests and to report back in the threaded discussion the results of the tests. If you do not feel comfortable taking the tests, it is okay to have your spouse, best friend or brother or sister take them for you. Good luck! Have fun!
