Time Management and Task Completion

The most common reason why students do not do well in an online course is because they do not develop a plan for successful time management and task completion.

If the following statements apply to you, then there is a good chance that you would do well in an online environment:

• You are self-motivated and self-disciplined.

• You are the primary person responsible for your own success and act accordingly in your priority-setting and decision-making.

• You are not afraid of doing things on the computer. You are comfortable using the internet, email, and a word processor, and/or are willing to put extra time towards improving technical skills.

• You know how to get support from people around you when it is needed.

• You plan a regular schedule for accessing your course site and completing course requirements, and you stick to it.

• You maintain open communication with your advisor. Contact your advisor if you have any questions; if you have difficulty accessing the course; if you need clarification on an assignment; or if there is anything else your advisor should know.
