Tips for Success
-
Stay in regular
attendance. This means ask
lots of questions from your instructors and anyone else that
can help you. Get to know your instructors and adviser, and
how to reach them when you need to. You can also reach them
by e-mail.
-
Observe all due
dates. Pay attention to all
deadlines like drop/add, withdrawal dates, early
registration, and due dates for papers and exams. The
University website is a comprehensive source of all current
information.
-
Watch your grades.
The University seeks for you
to be successful but occasionally your academic progress may
slip. The student who is seeking a degree, diploma or
certificate needs to maintain a 2.0 grade point average.
There are several important points to remember: (a) access
your grades online within a few days after the semester
ends, (b) if you're having academic difficulty, talk to your
instructor, and (c) confer with to your adviser.
-
Don't ever give up.
Distance learning emphasizes self-motivation. The instructor
functions as a facilitator with the student as the driving
force in mastering course content. Do not to put off
completing your readings and assignments.
-
Develop a systematic
learning style. The following should serve the needs of
most students:
-
Look over assigned
readings.
-
Read the assigned
readings making notes before viewing an assigned
lecture.
-
Define terms in the
assignment. Exams often test basic terminology.
-
As you view lectures
complete your notes.
-
Complete all writing
assignments and take instructor comments seriously.
-
Review your study notes
weekly.
-
If you have a question,
ask. Questions should arise in the teaching-learning
process. Use your e-mail to ask questions of your
instructors.
-
Use the library. The
University Library provides online access to materials you
can use in your courses.
