Introduction
Learning will never be a complete and simple set of principles or theories. There are many

Throughout my reading during this class, I was able to learn how adults learn
differently. By being in a class of 30 different individuals and hearing how
that each one of us learn differently, I have found that each person learns
differently. Some people learn better...
