BEFORE Monday 8/25 @ 5:30, go to www.vark-learn.com and take the VARK learning style inventory (called the questionnaire on the website). When taking it, remember that you can check more than one answer. This only takes about 10 minutes, but will give you some initial insight into your learning style. We’ll spend some time processing this information in common training.
