Visual learners like myself may take advantage of their inherent sense of order by making charts or graphs to conveniently organize knowledge. I can construct charts or graphs from lectures or notes in class while the instructor teaches.
Visualization and categorization benefit me a lot as a student. Visualization helps me in classes I need to visualize in for example art class when you need to think of what to draw or paint you have to visualize it. And categorization can help you not just in the classroom but can also help you in the real world. For example you can categorize all the homework you need to do that day because its due and all the homework you can do tomorrow based on when it is due.
