Using the idea of mind mapping and using verbal and auditory to aid in learning material.
The different techniques useful to all learners, that can improve student performance
Again, knowing the different learning styles and how to help them facilitate their style is what is important.

I usually have them use each one in a chapter and see which they liked best.
I will be using the PURE PEPSI approach to keep my students engaged! can be difficult at times, especially during night classes.
The idea of 60 bpm as a tempo to facilitate learning was novel. I do some class singing/dancing for myotomes and dermatomes. Now I am curious how many bpm our tunes use. I will go back and time it to see.

Again, as we meet our prospective future health care professionals it's going be important to observe their differences and adjust appropriately.
We have been exposed to four other kinds of learners: Friendzy twins, Nattie, Rainbow and Rapper. Catering to their characteristic learning styles would make us extremely effective teachers.
