Work together. There are a 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 classmates 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.

“It’s not WHERE you live but HOW you live that counts. It’s not where you play the game but HOW you play the game that counts”

-Mr. Haymore

Playing a game or living where you live doesn’t make it an accomplishment, what does is how you got to be there, did you cheat your way through or did you earn it? If your happy with what you have and what you have accomplished then GREAT, don’t let other people influence you when it is not the right type of influence.

 For example, who has accomplished more, A NFL player that got to where he was because he took muscle enhancing drugs or a football player that plays for recreational purposes? Many will think the NFL player but that is incorrect, he only got to where he was because of how he did so, the recreational player has accomplished much more.

A successful student…

… Takes responsibility for his/her own learning

Online learning can be a powerful, stimulating, engaging experience for the students 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 direct 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.

“Goodness is the only investment that never fails.”

-Henry David Thoreau

 

When you invest from the goodness in your heart you will never be disappointed with the outcome and that is a guarantee because you are doing that from the goodness of your heart. Therefore one of the smartest investment you can make is an investment in Goodness.

10

 

10. Successful students are good time managers. Successful students do not procrastinate. They have learned that time control is life control and have consciously chosen to be in control of their life.

An elemental truth: you will either control time or be controlled by it! It’s your choice: you can lead or be led, establish control or relinquish control, steer your own course or follow others. Failure to take control of their own time is probably the no.1 study skills problem for college students. It ultimately causes many students to become non students! Procrastinators are good excuse-makers. Don’t make academics harder on yourself than it has to be. Stop procrastinating. And don’t wait until tomorrow to do it!

The 10 items listed above are paraphrased from an article by Larry M Ludewig called Ten Commandments for Effective Study Skills which appeared in The Teaching Professor, December, 1992.
