1.6 Other Resources on Separation Process Engineering
Since students have different learning styles, you need to customize the way you use this book to adapt to your learning style. Of course, you will have to take charge of your learning and do this for yourself. If you are interested in exploring your learning style, a good place to start is the Index of Learning Styles, which was developed by Richard M. Felder and Linda K. Silverman. This index is available free on the Internet at www4.ncsu.edu/unity/lockers/users/felder/public/ILSpage.html. Alternatively, you may search on the term "Felder" using a search engine such as Google.
Since students (and professors) have different learning styles, no single approach to teaching or writing a book can be best for all students. Thus, there will undoubtedly be parts of this book that do not make sense to you. Many students use other students, then the teaching assistant, and finally the professor as resources. Fortunately, a number of good textbooks and Web pages exist that can be helpful because their presentations differ from those in this textbook. Table 1-1 presents a short annotated bibliography of some of the available handbook and textbook resources. A large number of useful Web sites are available but are not listed because URLs change rapidly. They can be accessed by searching on the term "separation processes" using any popular search engine.
