Organize Your Schedule<\/h3>\n

Find a day and time that works best for you to set aside to work on course assignments, read and do papers, communicate with faculty and classmates. Allow a minimum of 6-9 hours per course per week. For each course taken enter due dates in your calendar, iPad, smart phone, or computer utilizing a different color. Don\u2019t procrastinate. Continue to move forward in the course.<\/p>\n

Establish Expectations with Family, Friends, and Co-workers<\/h3>\n

It is essential that those around you understand, respect, and support your need to have quiet time to do your coursework. It is your responsibility to communicate to family, friends, and co-workers where and when you will do your work. Select a place and time that will provide the least disruption.<\/p>\n

Get To Know Your Instructor<\/h3>\n

Read a faculty web page if one is posted. Send an e-mail with a list of questions you have. Post a picture of yourself and send a short bio sketch\u00a0so the faculty can tailor some of your experiences.<\/p>\n

Utilize Online Library Resources<\/h3>\n

Take advantage of tutorials, orientation sessions, and Research Guides<\/a> which are resources compiled specifically for a course by the librarian. Many articles and databases can be accessed easily with a click or a tap.<\/p>\n

Use Available College Resources<\/h3>\n

At Monmouth University, for example,\u00a0we have the Center for Student Success which offers Writing Services<\/a> support for online students.<\/p>\n

Communicate with Faculty and Classmates Appropriately<\/h3>\n

Consider the internet as a public place where comments and postings can be read by many. Utilize discussion areas for items that are academically relevant and well thought out. Remember that posting only in capital letters typically means you are shouting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
