Tips to Being a Successful Online College Student:
1. Know and understand the Technology
Taking an online class involves learning a new technology. The courses, discussions, and assignments are all completed in an online platform. It is important to be familiar with Canvas at the very beginning. Don’t wait until the last minute or the day your first assignment is due to know how everything works.
Very important to learn the online platform early.
2. Know Your Professors
Just because you are taking classes online does not mean your professor is a ghost. Reach out to your professor as soon as you can. Introduce yourself by sending them a quick email and let them know your interest in the course. Starting a conversation is always a good idea. Having a good relationship with your professors can help you be successful as an online student and in your future studies.
3. Organizing your materials
When you sit ready to take your online class be prepared with notebooks and folders, and your school supplies. You should take the same approach to online classes as you would a face to face course. It is a good idea to set this up as early as possible, even before you start your first class.
4. Have a Schedule
As an online student you will learn that having a set schedule can help you manage the stress of such a heavy work and study load.
Carefully read the course syllabus at the beginning of the semester and draft a schedule that highlights all your major assignments, exams, and work deadlines. If you have a question do not wait until the last minute to ask your professor to clarify the syllabus.
I am looking forward to the opportunity we will have to learn and grow together in the course.
