The pace, volume, and complexity of material you encounter at Stanford requires sophisticated academic skills and strategies. The ones that got you here are not necessarily the ones that will help sustain you, and discovering new ones is not always an intuitive process.
The Inventory is intended to give you some new ideas to try as well as offer encouragement and reinforcement for the strategies you are already using.
After you select which topics you want to explore, the Inventory generates comments that is tailored to your responses. It takes about 5-15 minutes to complete.
