For me, as a student, I think I'd like to be given a comprehensive overview, if possible, and then have the item in the subject matter broken down into no more than one or two examples and explanations of each at one time. For example: correct and incorrect; good and better.

the best part of writing for me is the research. I can spend years researching, maybe that is why most of my writing is just manuscripts that may never see daylight.

I know some people are visual learners, they need to see and "feel"

the words, some learn better when they hear the words out loud, used in a context. I get a lot out of interactions - of questions by others and answers - and to set things in memory, it helps me to read (or listen to a tape) and type out what I'm reading or hearing. This is what I used to do when transcribing minutes of meetings or a speech someone has made. Also taking notes as I go. The notes are a great memory booster. 

In our group we go from a topic, write cursive in a lined notebook and then read what we've written aloud. I almost always take notes as the others read, and make sure to give feedback on their use of detail, the 5 w's, clarity, description, dialog, etc.

I do well with it verbally. I retain a lot of information thanks to a great memory.
