Writing Homework Help

I’m working on a writing question and need support to help me understand better.

LISTENING TO LEARN SURVEY

DIRECTIONS: Listening is a key to learning in college. Respond to all of the following questions by circling one of the responses.

When you are finished, note the number of times you circled Yes, consistently. Hopefully they outnumber the circles for No, almost never or Sometimes.

If not, you may be learning less and achieving less because you are not using appropriate and effective listening skills.

SUBMIT A TEXT BOX: Write a brief response to taking this survey. Tell me how you think you did on this survey. Do you think you could improve your listening skills?
