Tips For Success in An Online Course!
- Follow the course schedule. This will allow you to space out assignments instead of cramming to turn them in at the last minute. (It will also make it easier to retain information that we've covered over the two week stretch.)
- Take Notes! As you read through the modules and reading assignments, write down important topics, concepts, events, people etc.
- Think about the material as you are taking notes. Say it to yourself as you are writing it down.
- Print assignments, activities, and notes. Organize them in a folder. Review before exams.
- Log into the course daily. Check for updates! Learn about the extra resources that are often shared on the News pages of the course.
- Participate in discussions throughout the week. Look to see if anyone has responded to your post. Provide specific feedback on other students' posts. Be an active user.
- Be proactive. Plan ahead!
- On short answer exams, plan your response on paper ahead of time. (US History only)
- Having a difficult time understanding a concept? Use Google, Yahoo, AltaVista etc. to clarify information. There are many different types of resources on the web that can help clarify a concept or topic. Use them to your advantage!
- Don't be afraid to email or page your teacher. I am here to help you succeed!!!
