I have taken various online courses consistently for the past five years, and over the years, I have learned the best methods to taking online classes. Here are a few tips:
- Go into the class with the mindset that it is a face-to-face class. Schedule out a block of time in your daily schedule for online coursework.
- Always do your coursework in the same place if you can. Make sure that you have a good desk and computer to do your work if one is available.
- Minimize distractions. Try not to listen to loud music, surf the web, or text your friends when you are doing coursework. It takes a long time to get back ‘into the groove’ once you break it.
Happy Studying!
