After teaching Technical Writing for several semesters, in which many of my students have been engineering majors, I am curious as to whether students in different majors - ranging from the sciences to the humanities - who think and learn differently, would benefit from a teacher using different methodologies to teach writing.

Perhaps different methods better reach different students, who are more comfortable employing certain ways of thinking or learning or writing. Kris is suggesting to examine what role learning style inventories play in this, which sounds interesting - and also helps provide a quantitative aspect to the research.
