Reminder: "I'll put the face of a man I don't like on a woman's body to mock him" is SUPER transphobic. Don't do it.

("We didn't show a correlation between engaging in a preferred learning style and higher grades" is fine. "Therefore there's no such thing as learning styles" when you yourselves just said that students were happier and /felt like/ they learned more when they were in their preferred style?
