Any Advice for student taking online classes? How do you succeed without traditional class setting?

I am going back to school in January!! yeah!! scared though when I went to traditional college on campus, I hated attending classed, I didn't see the point. I just wanted to turn the work in and take my test. I am hoping to do better with the online college community. Although some people say online classes are even harder and need really disciplined students...Any advice for success?Any Advice for student taking online classes?

Keep up with your work, it is sooo easy to say you will just do the work tomorrow because you don't have to go to class or turn anything in. It is very easy to keep everything until last minute and that will hurt you big time!Any Advice for student taking online classes? How do you succeed without traditional class setting?
yes definitly keep up on your coursework, and set deadlines for yourself. you also should realize that there is much more writing/papers for online courses, since the prof can only evaluate you on your writing and tests.
How unlike you I am! I prefer the structure of a class room setting, and a set schedule.





My daughter has been pursuing her degree with on line classes. She is doing quite well. The benefits ( from her prespective) are that she can work around her job, her errands, go to class before breakfast, or in her pj's. To some limited degree, she can work at her own pace, working ahead, where as in the school setting, if the class as a group must review material a second time each student must do like wise......the one thing you can't allow yourself to do is fall behind, without a ';deadline'; I fear I would procrastinate!





I think it shows great progress in our educational system that each of us have a choice.........Good Luck!
hey girl,


I've take my first online course this fall term, yeah it over now for the spring I'm taking two..





What worked for me is READ, READ, READ AND did I SAY READ, the material is very useful and try to be available when they chat, and communicate with the instructor as often as you can that's what worked for me the best


Good luck Mam
