I’m also visual and tactile! Techniques I use include: flashcards, drawing, writing during lectures, and creating outlines while reading. If someone uses a word I’ve never heard I usually ask them to spell it so I can visualize the word, otherwise I can’t remember it. I also take a lot of anatomy classes, and for those I tend to actually “act out” what I’m learning (e.g, if I’m learning what a muscle does, I make the motion to feel what’s happening, or feeling around for stuff). Labs go best when I can tinker around and figure out the process by myself, rather than just the professor telling us each step to take or doing half the work themselves (really gets under my skin because they like to run a lot of the data for us instead of letting us use the equipment). Very hands-on.
I actually studied in Australia for a while and their education system there makes a lot more sense, IMO. There was your typical lecture (which was recorded and available online for you) and then something called a tutorial, which was discussion or problem based. As well as labs. Honestly, I never even went to the lectures and still did fine.
