Thinking about enrolling in a program at CalSouthern?

1. Having face-to-face interaction with my instructors and fellow students is:
(a) not particularly important to me.
(b) somewhat important to me.
(c) very important to me.  

2. I would classify myself as someone who:
(a) is good at prioritizing tasks and often gets things done ahead of time without being reminded by my instructor.
(b) is sometimes poor at prioritizing, needs to be reminded of assignments once in a while, and often does assignments at the last minute.
(c) is poor at prioritizing and sometimes forgets to complete assignments if I'm not reminded about them frequently.  

3. Classroom discussion is:
(a) rarely helpful to me.
(b) sometimes helpful to me.
(c) almost always helpful to me.  

4. When an instructor hands out instructions for an assignment, I prefer:
(a) figuring out the instructions myself.
(b) trying to follow the directions on my own, then asking for help as needed.
(c) having the instructions explained to me.  

5. When it comes to assessing my own progress, I:
(a) feel as if I can keep tabs on my progress, even without immediate or frequent feedback from my instructors.
(b) prefer to receive regular feedback from my instructor, but don't mind if I can't get that feedback immediately after turning in a test or assignment.
(c) need feedback from my instructor immediately and often.  

6. My need to take a distance education program is:
(a) High -- I am not able to attend regular campus classes.
(b) Moderate -- I think distance education may be better for me.
(c) Low -- I think regular campus classes are better, but I want to consider distance education.  

7. Considering my professional and personal schedule, the amount of time I have to work on a distance education program is:
(a) over 15 hours per week.
(b) 10-15 hours per week.
(c) less than 10 hours per week.  

8. When I am asked to use software or technologies that I haven't used before (such as e-mail, voice mail or electronic messaging):
(a) I look forward to learning new skills.
(b) I feel apprehensive, but try anyway.
(c) I put it off or try to avoid it.  

9. If I had to describe my predominant learning style/preference, I would say it is:
(a) I learn best by "doing" (for instance researching a topic and researching a conclusion).
(b) I learn best when I can read the course materials or view graphics and other visuals.
(c) I learn best when I can listen to an explanation of a concept.  

10. My personal and professional schedule is:
(a) Predictable. I can generally plan, well in advance, blocks of time to devote to my coursework.
(b) Generally predictable, but sometimes last minute meetings or events come up that I cannot reschedule.
(c) Kind of crazy. I rarely know when I'm going to have free time that I can set aside for my coursework.
