Auditory learner - how to study for subjects like Pharmacology?

Hello,

I realized I'm mostly an auditory and a bit of a visual learner.

I do the best when I record lectures and re-listen to them, but of course that's not always possible or feasible.

For A&P it worked great, but for Pharmacology (which is mostly rote memorization with some understanding of mechanisms/processes), how can I go about that? Especially when I'm self-studying for the Summer (with the required textbook) in preparation for the Fall?

For the auditory learners, it would be a HUGE help knowing how you guys studied for pharmacology and clinicals?

Thank you!

    I hate to be a party pooper (actually I don't hate it), but to date there is NO evidence that students learn things better when using their self described preferred learning method. What there IS evidence for is that ALL students do better when they use a VARIETY of methods to learn and study the same material.

    In other words, I would drop the "I'm an auditory learner." We all learn things by hearing them, seeing them, handling them, etc.

    A great thing to do for phamacology: make your own flash cards with 3X5 cards. Writing them out yourself will be helpful. Carry them around and read them out loud while you study them. It really helps to actually be in motion (pacing, walking around the block, etc.) when doing this.
