*If your attitudes are negative or you are unsure, read the first
and second chapters of this handbook to learn more about
distance learning. If your attitudes are negative because of prior
experiences with distance learning, identify what was negative
and what could have made it better. Then decide to what extent
voicing your concerns may have changed things for you. Remember,
one of the characteristics of successful distance learners is that they
are assertive!
