Self-Test Result

If you answered YES to all or most of the questions, YOU WILL PROBABLY ENJOY Biology 100 online.

Keep in mind that this is a class in which you work independently, with an instructor. You will learn from performing laboratory activities in your own home, doing interactive activities on the internet, reading chapters in the text, and sharing your ideas online with your classmates. Some assignments will be submitted via the internet. Other assignments will be mailed via snail mail. Quizzes will be taken online. Examinations will be mailed to a pre-arranged proctor and submitted to the instructor for grading. If you have difficulty, you can always present your difficulty to the instructor so she may have the opportunity to help.

If you answered NO to all or most of the questions, you might be more successful in a traditional structured class that meets at certain weekly times.

Advantages include hearing explanations, seeing demonstrations, and working with an instructor and classmates regularly. Keep in mind that the instructor will determine when assignments are due, when tests will be given, and will generally determine the pace at which material will be covered.
