| Course Styles | Choose groups in which students are likely to discuss problems and offer variants of their solving. Work with others to guess what you will be asked on the next test and figure out how you will answer. If you look for ways of working out even the most difficult problem, sooner or later you will find them.
How Can Reflective Learners Help Themselves?
If you study in class in which too little time is devoted to the pondering over the new information, don’t urge yourself to move to the other class at once. You can offset it during your studies. When the teacher gives new material don’t just read and learn it, try to think about it for a couple of minutes. You might find it helpful to write short summaries of readings or class notes in your own words. Of course it will take a spare time but will also assist you in better comprehension of the material.
Sensing and Intuitive Learners
• Sensing learners are obsessed with dealing and learning facts, concrete concepts, while the intuitive ones would like to find relationships and possibilities.
• Sensing students tend to solve problems using well known aprobated methods; intuitive students don’t like boring repetitive work, they use new, modern methods. Sensors are more likely than intuitors to resent being tested on material that has not been explicitly covered in class.
• Sensors are good in keeping in mind some particular details and facts, they show good results during the laboratory works; intuitors like big amounts of material and abstract forms or notions;
• Sensors are more careful and practical than intuitors; the later work faster using new methods and conceptions.
• Sensors dislike material that is far from the real world situations; intuitors don’t like simply working out or calculating something.
 Every person combines sensitiveness’ and intuitiveness. You can have one of these types in a severe or moderate form. To learn and solve problems well, you need to be able to accept both forms. If you overdo with intuition, you may miss important details or make a lot of stupid mistakes in your work; if you overemphasize sensing, you may rely too much on memorization and familiar methods and not concentrate enough on understanding and innovative thinking, which can help in no-exit situations.
