Learning Tips

Tips for E-Learning

• Be able to communicate through writing or over the internet.
• Be thorough in reading the course content and class communications.
• Be active. Break up your schoolwork with walks and exercise. It will make a difference.
• Be self-motivated and self-disciplined. You are in charge of your success.
• Be willing to "speak-up". We don't know if you need help unless you tell us. You are not alone. Reach out.
• Be aware that high-quality learning can take place without going to a traditional classroom.
• Be aware of your motivations and make sure to keep them up.
• Be committed to making it work.

General Tips for Learning

• Try not to take struggling personally, don't "should" on yourself.
• Do what keeps you mentally engaged.
• Stay organized! Have a system, whatever works for you.
• Collaborate with your peers via the breakout rooms. Teaching others improves your understanding.  
• Rewatch the videos.
• Redo the projects.
• Complete every bit of suggested content.
