Online Classes

The best way to participate and to stay involved in an online class is pretty much the same as you would as if you were in an actual classroom.  Always being prepared is the main key, reading over the agenda or syllabus to see what will be discussed in class, if you’re unsure on the topic take a few moments to do some research because being knowledgeable will make it easier to discuss with others.  Make the discussion into a conversion as if you were talking with friends.  Always have the  proper supplies, there’s nothing worse than sitting down to start homework and having to get back up and losing your train of thought.  Distractions can be more difficult when taking an online class because you don’t have the instructor standing in front of you.  Try to go to a different room where it is quiet so that you will be able to concentrate, because it is up to you to stay focused.  Taking notes is a must, as you’re listening to the lectures or watching the videos take notes, it will only make it easier on you to refer back to later. Just because you are taking a class online doesn’t mean that you don’t need to take notes.  Always feel free to ask questions; there are no wrong questions, you never know someone else maybe wondering the something but they are afraid to ask.
