finds it difficult to sit in lectures just taking notes; requires interaction
Reflective Learners:
retain and understand information best by thinking about it first
"let’s think it through first"
prefer working alone
needs thinking time during lectures
In the light of these features of Active and Inactive learning styles, what would you suggest these types of learners to do in class? Suggest them some learning strategies.

Active Learners
In classes that allow little time for discussion or problem solving activities,they should compensate for these lacks when they study.
They should study in a group, with members taking turns to explain different topics
They should work with others to "guess" what will be potential exam questions and figure out the answers
They will always retain information better if they find ways to do something with it
Reflective Learners
In classes that allow little or no time for thinking about new information,they should compensate for this when studying
don’t just read or memorise the material.
They should stop periodically to review what you have read and to think of possible questions or applications
it might be helpful to write short summaries of readings or class notes in your own words
doing the above may take extra time but you will be able to retain material more effectively
