Now that you have evaluated your skill level and learning preferences, answer the following questions:
1. How confident are you in your ability to succeed as an online graduate student? Are there particular areas you need to improve in?
I am very confident in succeeding in my online classes, I feel that my online classes are going to make me more responsible and dedicated, my only issue is that sometimes I cannot find articles I need to research with.
2. How will your responses on this survey influence the goals you make and the way you conduct your online studies?
