Work Together. There are number of ways that you can ensure you get the most out of your educational experience. First, participate fully. Engage regularly in the discussions and be willing to share your personal, professional, and educational experiences. You can get to know your classes through the dialogue that is created in a course environment – sometimes even better than in a face-to-face class. And the same goes for your instructor. Be sure to contact your professor – especially if you are having problems. He/she is still your instructor and will be there to guide and assist you as needed.

A Successful Student …

… takes responsibility for his/her own learning...
Online learning can be powerful, stimulating, engaging experience for the student who can work and think independently. However, since most-if not all-of the learning takes place on your own time, you will not have the kind of supervision you would in a classroom. Online learning therefore requires a significant commitment from you. All education comes down to what you’re willing to invest in the experience-this is particularly true in the online environment. Commitment, self-discipline and self-motivation are all key qualities to ensuring success in an online course!

  …is comfortable and confident with written communication…
Reading and writing are the basis of most online courses, so it’s critical that you feel comfortable with this form of communication. While some courses contain modules that include videos or other activities, all of them require significant amounts of reading. And nearly all of your communication with your classmates and your instructor will be in writing. if these are weak areas for you, you will want to address those issues prior to enrolling or while enrolled in an online course. The PSU Writing Center is available to assist you.

English, Math, Foreign Language Tips: PRACTICE – especially foreign language. It is hard to succeed in a foreign language class if you are just showing and doing the work. But if you are in your room and look at objects and try to say them in the language you are learning it actually helps.

How I Deal with Multiple Projects/Tests: When I have more than on 

test or project, I break up my studying. I will study for one test 30 minutes or so and then switch to the other one. If there is some part of the project that I know will not take me very long, I will do it when I don’t have much time. If I am in crunch for time on a specific day, I will study for one test in the morning and the other in the afternoon or night. By breaking up the studying into different sections, I feel like I get much more done. Cram sessions do not work for me. I need to study something for a shorter period of time more often for it to sink in.
