I learned that it is important early on to identify the learning styles that could keep students from participating. The avoidant students seems to be disinterested and do not communicate well with the instructor or other students. The dependent students are the ones that may have a hard time thinking and reasoning for themselves and rely on the instructor or their peers. The competitive student is the one that I really had to think about. It is the student that acts as though they know better than everyone else even if they are wrong. This can cause other students to shy away from the discussion.
