Profile of a Successful Student
Part 1
A successful student …
… takes responsibility for
his/her own learning
Online learning can be powerful,
stimulating, engaging experience for the student who can work and think
independently. However, since most- if not all- of the learning takes place on
your own time, you will not have the kind of direct supervision you would in a
classroom. Online learning therefore requires a significant commitment. All
education comes down to what you’re willing to invest in the experience- this
is particularly true in the online environment. Commitment, self-discipline and
self-motivation are all key qualities to ensuring success in an online course!
… is comfortable and confident
with written communication
Reading and writing are the basis of
most online courses, so it’s critical that you feel comfortable with this form
of communication. While some courses contain modules that include videos or
other activities, all of them require significant amounts of reading.
And nearly all your communication with your classmates and your instructor will
be in writing. If these are weak areas for you, you will want to address those
issues prior to enrolling or while enrolled in an online course. The PSU Writing
Center in available to assist you.
… is willing to
be a member of an online community.
