Student Success Statement

“nothing is ever gained in doing what’s wrong.”

-Wilford Woodruff-

I agree with this statement because whenever you do something that’s incorrect, you pay consequences but you have nothing to gain from that.

…..owns or has easy access to a computer with Internet access and e-mail

You don’t have to be a computer expert to be successful in online learning- but you must have access to a personal computer with reliable Internet access, as well as a basic level of competency in using them. Owning a computer with Internet access from your home is ideal but many students use the computer labs on campus or at their offices to complete their work.

….has basic computer skills and is willing and open to learning new ones

We said you don’t have to be a computer expert to be successful in online learning. However, there are some basic technical skills you should have mastered prior to enrolling in an online course.

Work together. There are a number ways that you can ensure you get the most out of your educational experience. First, participate fully. Engage regularly in the discussions and be willing to share your personal, professional and educational experiences. You can get to know your classmates through the dialogue that is created in a course environment—sometimes even better than in a face-to-face class. And the same goes for your instructor. Be sure to contact your professor—especially if you are having problems. He/she is still your instructor and will be there to guide and assist you as needed.

“its not WHERE you live but HOW you live that counts. Its not where you play but HOW you play that counts”

Mr.Haymore

I agree with this statement because what matters is if you are comfortable with how you live and the way you play, not the place where you live or play. You have to be comfortable with what you have, you may live in the ghetto but be happy there with your family, or you could live in a mansion, be lonely, and uncomfortable.

A successful student …

… Takes responsibility for his/her own learning

Online learning can be a power, stimulating, engaging experience for the student who can work and think independently. However, since most – if not all – of the learning takes place on your own time, you will not have the kind of direct supervision you would in a classroom. Online learning therefore requires a significant commitment from you. All education comes down to what you’re willing to invest in the experience – this is particularly true in the online environment. Commitment, self-discipline and self-motivation are all key qualities to ensuring success in an online course!

… is comfortable and confident with written communication

Reading and writing are the basis of most online courses, so it’s critical that you feel comfortable with this form of communication. While some courses contain modules that include videos or other activities, all of them require significant amount of reading. And nearly all of your communication with your classmates and your instructor will be in writing. If these are weak areas for you, you will want to address those issues prior to enrolling or while enrolled in an online course. The PSU Writing Center is available to assist you.

… is willing to be a member of an online community

“Goodness is the only investment that never fails.”

-Henry David Thoreau-

I agree with this statement because whenever you do something good, you will get something good back. Like an old saying says, what goes around comes around. As long as you do something good for others you will live free of guilt and you will get something good back.

Successful Students 10

10. Successful students are good time managers. Successful students do not procrastinate. They have learned that time control is life control and have consciously chosen to be in control of their life.

        An element of truth: you will either control time or be controlled by it! It’s your choice: you can lead or be lead, establish control or relinquish control, steer your own course or follow others. Failure to take control of their own time is probably then no. I study skills problems for college students. It ultimately causes many students to become non students! Procrastinators are good excuse-makers. Don’t make academics harder on yourself than it has to be. Stop procrastinating. And don’t wait until tomorrow to do it!

The 10 articles listed above are paraphrased from an article by Larry M. Ludwig called Ten commandments for effective study skills which appeared in The Teachers Professor, December, 1992.
