Student Success Statement

“Nothing is ever gained in doing what’s

wrong.”

Wilford Woodruff

Reflection:

     I agree with this statement because when you do wrong you get punished for it sooner or later. It will always be eating at your conscience. When you choose the wrong you people lose respect for you.

…owns or has easy access to a computer with internet access and email

You don’t have to have a computer expert to be successful in online learning—but you must access to a personal computer with reliable internet access, as well as a basic level of competency in using them. Owning a computer with Internet access from your home is ideal but many students use the computer labs on campus or at their offices to complete their work.

…has basic computer skills and is willing and open to learning new ones .We said you don’t have to be a computer expert to be successful in online learning. However, there are some basic technical skills you should have mastered prior to enrolling in an online course.

Work together. There are a number of ways that you can ensure you will get the most out of your educational experience. First, participate fully. Engage regularly in the discussions and be willing to share your personal, professional, and educational experiences. You can get to know your classmates through the dialogue that is created in a course environment---sometimes even better than in a face-to-face class. And the same goes for your instructor. Be sure to contact your professor---especially if you are having problems. He/she is still your instructor and will be there to guide and assist you as needed.

Student Success Statement

“It’s not WHERE you live but HOW you live that counts. It’s not where you play the game but HOW you play the game that counts.”

Mr. Haymore

Reflection:

     I agree with this quote because the place is not committed you are. The place should not determine determination.If you live better than other people and don’t appreciate that your life is easier then people who have it worse than you will beat you in life because they will try harder to overcome their poverty. You will be under them as they triumph because they tried harder than you.

A successful student…

…takes responsibility for his/her own learning

Online learning can be a powerful, stimulating, engaging experience for the students 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 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 is available to assist you.

…is willing to be a member of an online community.

Student Success Statement

“ Goodness is the only investment that

never fails.”

--Henry David Thoreau

Reflection:

       I agree with this statement because when you are kind and good to people they reciprocate that feeling. When you are good to the world they are kind back and you will have many friends.

10. Successful students are good time managers. Successful students do not procrastinate. They have learned that time control is life control and consciously chosen to be in control of their life.

     An elemental thruth you will either control time or be controlled by it! It’s your choice: you can lead or be led, establish control or relinquish control, steer your own course or follow others. Failure to take control of their own time is probably the no. I study skills problem for college students. It ultimately causes many students to become non-students! Procrastinators are good excuse-makers. Don’t make academics harder on yourself that it has to be. Stop procrastinating. And don’t wait until tomorrow to do it!

The 10 items listed above are paraphrased from an article by Larry M. Ludewig called The Ten Commandments for Effective Study Skills which appeared in The Teaching Professor, December, 1992.
