Profile of a Successful Student
Part 1
A successful-student…
… Takes responsibility for
his/her own learning
Online learning can be a 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 from you. 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
of your communication with your classmate 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 is available to assist you.
… Is willing to be a member
of an online community.
