1. Has working on your own online helped you prepare to meet your educational goals?? How?
I have been able to study on my own and see how I do on the tests..
2. Were you able to keep up with your studies?
Sometimes
3. What made studying on your own hard or easy?
It is hard to get to a computer; I like working on it in class..
<4. How often were you able to study using a computer?
Once or twice a week.5. Was self-study a better alternative than attending classes on a daily basis? Why?
I can't get to class everyday..
6. Did the instructor give you enough guidance in the workshop to make your self-study worthwhile?
Yes. He was there if I needed help, which is why I liked being on my own in class.
7. What could have been done, either during the intake or in the workshop, to better prepare you for success studying on your own?
More help on where to find a computer to use outside class.
8. Did you find any web-sites on your own that helped you in your studies? If so, which ones? Were they more useful than those suggested in the workshop?
No. The ones offered by my teacher worked for me..
9. Would you recommend this workshop to others who are not able to attend class but would be able to study on their own for the GED? Why or why not?
Yes. You can get homework done even if you can't you can't get to class. You are still at least trying to keep up.
10. Do you feel that you have enough support, inside of and outside of school, to help you achieve your goals? Why or why not? What more do you need?
In school I have a lot of help. Outside I wish I had more.
"Jill" found it hard to make it to class more than once or twice a week. Sometimes she could not come at all. I had given her workbooks to use at home, and when she would come we would review the work. But she wasn't feeling like she was doing anything while working at home; not knowing if she was doing the work properly caused as much frustration as the lack of free, quiet time she had to herself to do the work.
I registered her on the Warwick Adult Ed. Distance learning site, and she was able to reserve time at the library once a week to take the online practice tests. She usually did this before coming in on the days she was free to attend class. By being able to do the tests online and see her scores, she was able to gauge her own progress outside of class. She was also more confident in her in-class work, since she knew she was on the right track.
