By implementing experiential learning, the students are able to gain confidence in their learning experiences and their knowledge. They additionally gain a better knowledge of course material because it is their own abilities and experiences they are processing through.

Experiential learning is a theory that was piloted by David Kolb, along with other theorists. They believed that in education, people learned best by experience. Specifically how we processed experiences and then our critical reflection of that experience. In short, the best way to really learn something is by doing it.

* Experiential Learning encourages a hands on approach for people to process their emotions, actions and thought processes
* When they are processing their experience it creates a learned memory, instead of temporary retention
* It changed education by having the teachers focus more on what learning style benefits the learners. It was no longer one size fits all as it had been.
* Experiential Learning gave teachers alternate assignments and a changed learning experience. Instead of the traditional lessons, homework, and test, it was changed into field experience, labs and presentations.
*The experiential learning theory works in four stages. Concrete learning, reflective observation, abstract conceptualization, and active experimentation.
