]. The instrument assesses learning preferences on four scales withtwo dimensions each: Processing with the Active and Reflective dimensions; Perception with theSensing and Intuitive dimensions; Input with the Visual and Verbal dimensions; andUnderstanding with the Sequential and Global dimensions. Ratings are represented by a degreeof preference for each learning scale: balanced (no preference between dimensions), moderatepreference for one dimension, or strong preference for one dimension.In the processing scale, active learners prefer learning the material by applying it, discussing it orexplaining it to others. Reflective learners prefer to think about and reflect on the material first.In the perception scale, sensing learners prefer to

Responses included the followingcomments: “We fell into our natural group roles”, “My work was valued”, “I have been able towork with peers who have different strengths, and we learned to use our strengths to completethe lab.”Figure 2.e, shows that challenges this semester were tied to academics and life balance. Asignificant number of responses reflected on the difficulties of developing healthy study habits.Students usually have to balance their academic load, roles in other social clubs, work, personallife, etc. However, although challenges pointed to the academic topics, figure 2.f. shows thatstudents felt they
