ASelf-Confidence Survey helps to identify areas where students feel comfortable and where they do not. Insofar as self confidence reflects recognition of one's own competence, brief written reflections on confidence make apparent those areas where students need fundamental practice and those where they are ready for more advanced challenges. By identifying, confronting, and communicating their academic anxieties, students promote a healthier and more effective study environment for themselves.
