|
My need to take this course now is:
|
|
|
|
High - I need it immediately for degree, job, or another important reason.
|
|
|
|
Moderate - I could take it on campus later or substitute another course.
|
|
|
|
Low - It's a personal interest that could be postponed.
|

|
My favorite type of class would have me . . .
|
|
|
|
watching a performance.
|
|
|
|
doing the activity myself.
|
|
|
|
hearing a lecture.
|
| 3.
|
I would classify myself as someone who:
|
|
|
|
Often gets things done ahead of time.
|
|
|
|
Needs reminding to get things done on time.
|
|
|
|
Put things off until the last minute.

|
When I'm in a face-to-face class of about 20 people,
|
|
|
|
I always participate in classroom discussion.
|
|
|
|
I may participate in classroom discussion once in a while.
|
|
|
|
I try to avoid participating in classroom discussion.

|
When an instructor hands out directions for an assignment, I prefer:
|
|
|
|
Figuring out the instructions myself.
|
|
|
|
Trying to follow the directions on my own, then asking for help as needed.
|
|
|
|
Having the instructions explained to me.
|
| 6.
|
I need faculty comments on my assignments:
|
|
|
|
Within a few weeks, so I can review what I did.
|
|
|
|
Within a few days, or I forget what I did.
|
|
|
|
Right away, or I get very frustrated.
|
| 7.
|
Considering my professional and personal schedule, the amount of time I have to work on distance education courses is:
|
|
|
|
More than enough for a campus class or distance education course.
|
|
|
|
About the same as for a class on campus.
|
|
|
|
Less than for a class on campus.
|
| 8.
|
When I am asked to use VCRs, computers, voice mail, or other technologies new to me:
|
|
|
|
I immediately try out the new tool.
|
|
|
|
I try to read all the instructions before I start working with the new tool.
|
|
|
|
I prefer to have someone right there with me when I actually use the new tool.
|
| 9.
|
As a reader, I would classify myself as:
|
|
|
|
A very strong reader with an extensive vocabulary. I usually understand the text without help.
|
|
|
|
A good reader, but occasionally I have questions after I read something.
|
|
|
|
Actually, I'd rather not do much reading. I sometimes need help to understand the text.
|

|
How do you prefer to spend class time?

Working in small groups of two or three other students.

On my own, reflecting on the information previously given.
|

In a small group, where we can share ideas together in discussions.
|
|
|
|
Working on a hands on activity in a face-to-face class to apply ideas immediately.
|

|
Going to campus to take exams or complete work:
|
|
|
|
Is easy for me.
|
|
|
|
Can be difficult at times.
|
|
|
|
Is very difficult.
