On Course Self-Assessment for the
Faculty Inquiry Partnership Program (FIPP)

The ON COURSE I workshop is the inaugural event for El Camino College’s Faculty Inquiry Partnership Program. In the workshop, we will explore the eight choices that characterize successful students. In order to maximize the benefits you experience from the training, please take a few minutes to learn more about these choices by completing the following self-assessment questionnaire. This instrument was designed as a pre-test and post-test for students but it is also a very useful introduction to the tools and concepts about which we will be learning in the On Course I workshop.

Most of the self-assessment questions are general in nature. For those questions specific to the student role, we suggest that you consider your current work environment instead. For example, for questions asking about a “professor” or “instructor,” you might reflect on your relationship with your current supervisor.

Read the sixty-four statements and score each one according to how true or false you believe it is about you. To get an accurate picture of yourself, consider what is currently true about you (not what you want to be true). Obviously, there are no right or wrong answers. Your scores will identify behaviors and beliefs you may wish to change in order to achieve more of your potential. Later in the year, you will have the opportunity to repeat this self-assessment and compare your two scores.

Our Confidentiality Promise

Important: Your scores on this self-assessment will remain confidential. You will provide your name so that your scores can be analyzed to understand your experiences as a FIPP participant. By completing this self-assessment you give your permission to include your scores in the assessment of the Faculty Inquiry Partnership Program.

     


     


This self-assessment is not a test. There are no right or wrong answers. The questions simply give you an opportunity to create an accurate and current self-portrait.
