Taking a class online requires a different set of skills than attending a course in the traditional classroom. Please take our quiz (25 True/False Questions) to see if you have the skills expected of an online learner.
Instructions: Please select the response that best describes you or your situation. When you have responded to all 25 questions, please press "Grade" to review your results. Each question is worth 1 point.
If you score 20 or more, a distance education course is a real possibility for you.
If you score 11 - 19, distance education courses may work for you, but you may need to make a few adjustments in your schedule and study habits to succeed.
If you score 10 or less, then distance education may not be the best alternative for you at this time; talk with your academic counselor.
