ABSTRACT

Knowing students' learning styles benefits both students (individually) and instructors. Using the easily accessible Felder-Soloman Index of Learning Styles (available online), we describe the experience of assessing business calculus students' learning styles, demonstrate use of the Index, and show it is both a valid and reliable measure of learning style.
