  1. If you REALLY want or need to learn something, what are your ideal conditions? Choose all that apply.*
    I need environment to be quiet.
    I need to have a little background noise.
    I need notes that I can read and review questions.
    I need someone to show me how to so something (modeling) and then help me practice.
    I need all three things: notes, modeling, and practice activities.
    I need written practice to review.
    I do best reviewing out loud.
    I use flashcards to study.
    I work best by myself.
    I work best with a partner.
    I don't know how I learn best.


  1. How would you characterize your homework habits? Choose all that apply.*
    I do all my homework assignments to the best of my abilities. I work at home, and I use my textbook and my notes to find the answers to questions I don’t know.
    I do all my homework assignments…but I do them on the bus, at lunch, or in other classes. If I don’t know an answer, I leave the question blank and copy the answers when we go over it.
    I do most of my homework assignments. If I know a teacher checks for completion, I just write anything down and wait to copy down the correct answers in class. If the teacher gives us the answers, why bother trying to figure out the difficult questions on my own?
    Most homework is pointless. I do some of my homework assignments, because I know if I don’t, I’ll get an F for homework. To be honest, I don’t really pay attention when we go over them in class. Sometimes I correct my work; sometimes I don’t.
    I'm willing to do a homework assignment if it's not too long.
    I'm willing to do a homework assignment if I think it's going to help me learn.
    I only do homework assignments if I know they're graded.

    pencil and paper tests. I know what to study ahead of time, and they're over quickly.
    projects. I know what's required according to the rubric, and I can take my time and be creative.
    performances (that is, skits/dialogues). I like speaking in front of the class.
    something else. (If this is your answer, please be sure to complete question 6 below!)
