Is the PLC Right For You?

This anonymous self test will help you determine how well suited you are for the PLC. Each question has a yes or no answer; the program will calculate your score and indicate the likelihood that you will learn best in the PLC. The test should take no more than a minute or two.

1. Are you comfortable doing work in a less structured environment?
2. Would listening to material from a fellow student who explains things accurately help you to learn?
3. Are you interested in solidifying your knowledge by explaining material to other students?
4. Does bouncing ideas off somebody else help you?
5. Are you far more comfortable setting your own deadlines and schedules rather than having them set for you?
6. Do you believe that by working in a group your achievements will be both higher and more certain?
7. Would you prefer a general humanities exposure rather than one specific discipline?
8. Are you a commuter student?
9. Do you have an interest in increasing your oral presentation and Powerpoint skills?
10. Are you willing to entrust your grade to a group effort?
