So I didn't mean that the textbook is the best resource for the concepts, just for the coursework. Side note, though, learning styles are a myth [1].

I can't find any references as to why learning styles are a myth in that article.

As mentioned in the article:

> surprisingly few studies of this format have produced supporting evidence for learning styles; far more evidence (such as this study) runs counter to the myth.

There's been a number of meta-analysis done (e.g. [1]), and they overwhelmingly conclude that there's just no support for learning styles. So, it's a myth until proven otherwise. See also Willingham's book based on his research [2], and his FAQ here which links to more research [3].
