Successful graduate students know their strengths academically. Now that you have almost completed this course, it is important for you to evaluate your skill level.
Complete the "Academic Skills Survey" to evaluate your skill level as a graduate student.
Complete the assignment according to the instructions in the survey.
UNV 503: Academic Skills Survey
Now that you are in a graduate program here at GCU, knowing how you study and prepare for class is important because the online classroom setting is so different than the traditional campus classroom setting. Knowing personal strengths and weaknesses is beneficial in moving toward self improvement. Learning how to improve student skills will help you build confidence as a GCU graduate student.
Now that you have completed most of this course, complete this survey by highlighting the number that best illustrates your response to the statements below. Then answer the questions at the end of the survey.
