Is Online Learning for You?

Distance education classes are a great way for you to continue your education if your busy work or personal life makes it difficult for you to attend classes on campus.  Distance education classes require more time and responsibility on your part than on campus courses. To determine if distance education would be right for you, take a few minutes to complete the following survey.

 
Yes
No
1. Can you dedicate 8 – 12 hours a week to your course?
2. Do you have a computer and Internet access at home?
3. Are you able to come to campus to take an exam or lab if given the dates and times in advance?
4. Are you self-motivated and willing to take responsibility for your own learning?
5. Are you self-disciplined and good at budgeting your time in order to complete assignments before their due dates?
6. Are you confident in your writing and typing skills?
7. Do you like reading?
8. Do you prefer to work at your own pace?
9. Are you aware that distance courses usually require more time and work on your part than traditional face-to-face courses?
10. Do you benefit from engaging in discussions with the instructor and other classmates?
