Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! This week, we're continuing our series on strategies for different learning styles, with tips for kinesthetic learners. Even if this isn't your preferred learning style, there's lots of advice you can use to mix things up a bit and make your studying even more effective!
In this episode, we discuss:
- What is a kinesthetic learner and how do you know if you are one?
- Why there is no one-size-fits-all method for learning different material
- Several techniques anyone can try – including some things that may surprise you!
- Ways to stay focused in class, if you tend to zone out
- The reality that some things you’ve been told your entire academic career NOT to do may actually work for you
- Things to avoid for kinesthetic learners
