Strategies for success

Communicate with your instructor
  • Let them know whether you're sinking, treading water, or swimming along. Even the smallest details are interesting and helpful to them.
  • Jump in to post your thoughts at least two or three times a week.
Stay organized, because time goes fast
  • A good strategy can be to print out all essays at beginning of the week
  • It's OK to email your instructor with questions.
Manage your time
  • Check the rubrics early on, so you know what your assessment is based on.
  • If you're taking the course for graduate credit, check out the sign-up dates.
  • Know what's due and when — especially your final project. Don't wait till the last week to start it!
  • If you fall behind, talk to your instructors. They're there to help you.
