Teaching and Learning Styles
      Teaching and learning is the basis for any type of education process.   Understanding the various teaching and learning styles of the student and teacher can greatly improve this education process.   Many students share different learning methods and tactics, while most teachers are unique in their teaching methods. For example, a student may enjoy and learn better from a PowerPoint presentation of ‘The theory of evolution’ rather than a detailed 1000 plus page encyclopedic report on it.   This disparity arises due to the different comprehension strengths and preferences of the student. Therefore, it is essential that one understands the learning strengths and preferences of the student.
