This is a dummy page for developing and testing the on-line questionnaire; the form does not actually do anything!

Results:

Thank you for completing this questionnaire! Your answers are used to calculate scores on various sub-scales, which are then combined into three main scales expressing your overall learning style relative to the course you indicated at the start of this survey. Your results are summarized in the table below; a copy will also be sent to your email address.

What Does it Mean?

Deep Approach:: A deep approach to learning is the goal of all instructors, emphasizing understanding and making connections (“big picture” thinking) over rote memorization and compartmentalization of knowledge.
Strategic Approach:: A strategic approach can be combined with either a deep or surface one.
Surface Approach:: A surface approach to learning is not the intended goal of instructors!
