Tips for Success

Time Management

• Manage your time wisely. Make sure you allocate the same amount of time each week for an online/internet course as you would for a traditional course.
• Review the calendar and due dates. It is important that you keep up and not procrastinate in a blended course.
• Use the calendar and homework log to schedule your time. These will help you keep up with your course and not procrastinate.

Studying Considerations

• Review all course content the instructor has available for you, including written material, textbooks, and study guides
• Plan to study for this course as you would a traditional course.

Additional Considerations

• Don't be afraid to ask questions if you are confused by the material or the learning management system.
• Look for a Frequently Asked Questions area or a discussion board. Often, these will answer common questions.
• Make note of your instructor's office hours (on campus and online).
• Login to your course frequently to ensure that you do not miss any material or discussions.
