How to Succeed in an Online Class

Almost every student at Ohio State will take an online class at one point. These classes add flexibility for a student to complete school work at any point as opposed to attending recitations and required lectures at the same time every week. With this freedom and flexibility also comes difficulties. As a veteran of online courses at OSU, here is my spark-note guide to surviving and thriving in an online environment.

  1. Usually every assignment is due at the end of the week, so leave enough times on Sundays to complete quizzes, posts, responses, etc…
  2. When making an online post, they usually require a response. Instead of completing the post and waiting 3 days to make a response, respond immediately to a classmate. This will make sure you have finished the requirements
  3. Put important due dates on your phone’s calendar and set many reminder

Using these ideas for organization and timeliness will help you achieve in an online class and not procrastinate work.
