Survey responses from 1,962 students attending Florida State University during the Spring 2007 semester were analyzed for a preferred sensory learning mode, number and variety of study methods, a match between sensory learning mode and sensory preference within the study habits, and passive versus deep learning processes. The students were found to demonstrate a sensory learning mode preference, but did not report using study habits that matched this sensory mode. Most of the students were found to employ too few study methods to allow for the development of true study strategies, were found to use memorization as a primary study method, and to utilize passive learning rather than deep learning processes. / A Thesis submitted to the College of Information in partial fulfillment of the
