Learning styles

My learning style results are more towards the visual and tactile areas. Ive notice in classes and and studying for test, I seem to do better if I can read things about what is being taught. If a teacher is just talking and Im not taking notes, I'm really bad about zoning out during the lecture. In high school, I had a history teacher who would just talk the whole class every class and it was the only C i got in high school.
