 * Kelley, Aaron, Michele
 * **Observation** || **Findings** || **Questions** ||
 * Kelley- Observed differences in how a grad student and undergrad freshman approach learning in Econ111. || Learning styles may affect how students act in class; whether they listen intently because they are auditory learners, or whether they prefer to read on their own. || Was it age difference/ maturity levels or was it different learning styles that differentiate the students in Econ111? ||
 * Michele- Observed her 10 year old nephew and her 6 year old niece learning to play the game Bananagrams. || Her nephew picked up on the game quickest, then focused his efforts on winning. Her niece took longer to understand the objective, but once she did, she appeared to enjoy learning through the game rather than winning it. || How will her niece act in this situation at age 10? How would her nephew work if matched up with an "equal" competitor? ||
 * Aaron- Observed individuals working in teams of two in a karate class || Although both subjects were woking in teams of two, the individual attention and interaction was only of benefit to the kinesthetic learner. || As an instructor that understands that students may have extremely adverse learning styles, how can I maximize my efforts so that all benefit from the teaching method used? ||

Not only do learning styles affect learning, but we determined that age and maturity are variables as well.
 * Conclusions**:
