Advice From Some Semester One Students

  • "Try hard not to get behind."
  • "Be sure to communicate with the instructor often and complete your assignments on time!"
  • "Be aware that it is significantly more difficult than regular classes. Be sure you are ready for it!"
  • "Make sure you're someone who can teach yourself and has a good grasp at math before deciding to take online math."
  • "Stay organized, keep up with the work."
  • "Be prepared to spend a little more time than you would spend on this class in a classroom setting."
  • "To put out at least one hour each school day to work on assignments and review for tests. To contact the online instructor whenever they have any questions or problems."
  • "Never procrastinate! Stay focus on the lessons and set a realistic schedule."
  • "Keep up with your work! Don't fall behind, otherwise it will be extremely hard to catch up."
  • "Be sure to do the reviews and many practice questions. Although they don't count for marks they show on the test."
  • "Manage your time as well as possible. It's very easy to fall behind, and if you do its difficult to catch up while maintaining a good mark"
  • "Just do your work! It never takes as long as you think it will."
  • "Spread your work load out over the time you have to do it. Don't leave everything till last minute."
  • "Schedule time to work on your online course EVERY DAY."
  • "If you have a question, ask your instructor. You are doing this course online but the teachers are here to help. Let them help you. They are amazing. Don't second guess yourself, you can do this. Use your instincts, and read the material and do all the assignents if you have to hand them in or not, make sure to do them."
  • "Keep up with your schoolwork and be disciplined. Just because it's an online course without a classroom proper doesn't mean you can do all your work at the last minute."
  • "Don't rely on web classes to be easier."
