**Learning Styles**

Complete this Learning Style Inventory to help me develop a "class profile" of the dominant learning styles for our class. Follow the steps below.

> >
 * 1) Visit the "What's Your Learning Style?" page and complete thr online questionnaire. Complete the questionnaire as honestly as possible.
 * 2) Click "submit" when you're finished to receive your result. You'll be told what learning style is most likely your dominant style, but above this you'll be told how many A, B and C answers you got. For example:
 * 1) Note down your score for the A, B and C answers and bring it up to me to enter into the spreadsheet. This way I'll get an overall class profile of your learning styles.
 * 2) Consider the questions below and write a reflection (one paragraph) in response that covers your thoughts on all five questions. This reflection should be written in your folder:

About Me
I am teaching many of you for the first time. Even if we already know each other, it's helpful for me to know a little about your goals for next year and beyond. Complete the online "About Me" questionnaire. Put as much thought and detail into your responses as you can.
