Online courses require you to manage your time independently. Success in these courses requires that you be self-directed, self-motivated, and self-confident. To help you determine if your learning needs match the unique demands of these learning environments, we encourage you to take this survey.

It is important that you be honest with yourself. There are no right or wrong answers, only different learners with different learning needs. We hope this assessment tool will provide you with the insight you need to determine whether taking these courses is a good match for your learning needs and style.
