Students have been asked to summarize their "Learning Philosophy" in a short, written, individual assignment, somewhat similar to professors' "Teaching Philosophy" statements. In part, the "Learning Philosophy" statements were based on a survey designed to assess the learning styles of individual students. This simple activity has helped the students focus on their learning goals and efficiently provided their professor with knowledge of the learning objectives of the students, both individually and collectively. Keywords (Audience): High School / Introductory Chemistry
