Abstract: 

What is it that makes the difference for students? What is their perspective on what benefited or hindered their learning in a first statistics class? Additionally, can students' reasons be categorized based on different student characteristics or learning styles? To answer these questions, the present investigation is a qualitative follow-up to a quantitative analysis that was aimed at determining relationships among learning styles, academic programs, background variables and attitude toward statistics.
