Name:
I want to take an online class because...
my schedule is so busy that I don't have time to take a class on campus
attending class in my pajamas sounds fun
I like to take on new challenges and follow them through to completion
When my instructor assigns a research paper, I usually…
go to the library and ask for help
wait until just before the deadline, because I work best under pressure
get started early and work steadily so I can complete it before it is due
Online classes appeal to me because…
I'm so busy that online courses are the only ones that fit in my schedule
I waited until the last day to register and the online course was the only section open
I like the flexibility of an online course and understand that it's a lot of work so I will manage my time accordingly
