Student Survival Skills

Familiarize yourself with the course requirements
Spend time looking over the course syllabus and other important course materials. Make sure you understand the course objectives, the scope of the material you will cover and when assignments are due.

Create a study schedule and stick to it
You are the director of your own learning experience. Try to set aside a study time each day when your mind is fresh and you will not be interrupted. As a distance learner you do have to do work on a regular schedule to succeed.

Establish good study skills
Take notes. Ask yourself questions. Go over the material more than once. Best of all, pretend that you will have to teach someone else to apply the concepts and skills you are learning. Master what you would need to know to accomplish that goal.

Ask for help when you need it
Your instructor is there to help you, but since you are the director of your learning experience, you will need to initiate the contact.

Attend class

This is probably the single most important thing you can do to ensure your success!

Hone Course-taking Skills

Study diligently, avoiding interruptions and distractions.
Keep up with assignments.
Don't let yourself fall behind.Read all the materials and access the links that your instructor posts.
Be focused, organized, patient, and determined.

Manage Time

Keep a calendar. After studying the syllabus, mark deadlines, test dates, etc., on a calendar. Mark items off as you complete them.
Don't procrastinate. Don't wait until the last minute to do assignments.
Communicate. Check your email often, and respond promptly to instructors and fellow students.

Complete and Send Assignments

Keep electronic AND paper copies of your completed assignments as back ups.
When e-mailing assignments, send a copy to yourself so you know that the e-mail was sent successfully. If possible, request a "read" receipt so you'll know that your instructor received your e-mail.
