• An online class can be lots of fun as long as you set enough time for each class and stay on course.

• One thing I did was buy a white board and wrote down all of the dates that threaded discussions, assignments, tests, papers, etc... were due for each class and marked them off as I did them. Kept me organized.

• I am not sure I could manage a face-to-face classroom anymore after taking an online course. I love them! And believe me, if you set up a schedule for yourself and stick to it, they really aren't that bad.

• You need to study hard and ask lots and lots and lots of questions!

• I'm a late night person and do my best work late at night. So by doing online classes, I can do my work late at night and not be stressed out.

• These classes work well with a busy work and family schedule. The best advice that I would offer new students to this process is to check your courses daily and always participate in class discussions.

• You need to keep up with your assignments.

• If you are not a self-learner, online courses might not be for you.

• If you work well independently, then online might work for you.

• Online courses take lots of time.

• Make sure to complete assignments ahead of time so that you have plenty of time if you encounter a technical problem or have questions before a quiz.

• You really have to do all the work and not fall behind.

• Seek help when needed.

• Have a regular time each week that you log into your online class and don't skip class.
