- It can be easy to underestimate the time required for online courses
- Start early, work often
- Create a schedule to force yourself to chip away at large assignments, otherwise they can creep up on you

- It is crucial to use the resources provided to you
- The university, among other sites, can give you access to useful tools to help you succeed as a student
