             There are about eight types of learning styles: active, reflective, sensing, intuitive, visual, verbal, sequential, and global.

Courses that encompasses a lot of memorization and routine calculations are not the classes an intuitive learner would want to take and be good in. He may be better at grasping new concepts and are customarily more comfortable with abstractions and mathematical formulations. Intuitors can be in the habit of working faster and be more creative. Nevertheless, if they overemphasize intuition, they may miss important details or make careless mistakes in calculations. An intuitive learner can try to find interpretations that link the facts. He may also take the time to read the question completely before answering it, and check the results since he may miss an important factor to the problem.
             Visual learners understand the information best by what they see. Examples are pictures, diagrams, flow charts, time lines, films, demonstrations, etc. Most cl...
