9 Clever Online College Courses Tips for a Successful Semester

Find a quiet place to work each day. Schedule time each day to do the work. Preferably at the same time. This will give you a routine to follow and will keep you focused on what is going on at that point. It will minimize the transition to the material.

Review your perspective BEFORE the course starts. Usually, you will have access to an online course a few days before it starts. Start right away, getting things and papers organized.

Determine what your goals are for the class. Before starting the lesson, determine what you want to get out of the class. A goal could be getting enough information to help you move to the next level of the course.

Mark your calendar or print it out, so you know when the items are due. If you are a visual person, having a paper calendar may be better than a digital one. Forgetting to do something because it is not in front of you is easy for people who are visual learners.

Looking for a planner for your college course? Look no further! Order Out of Chaos has a planner for college students too! Click the image below and select the "Academic Planners & Accessories" and the size "8 ¼ x 8 ½ size". It's more geared to young adults.

Always take notes even when you are doing an online college course. Be sure to use more sensors in your learning. It will help you keep focused.

Organize your papers for the online course. Write the section and work at the top of each page to help your notebook be more organized. So, when you reference your notes, you can match them up with that section of the textbook for studying.

Schedule time each week to work with the professor. At the beginning of the semester, schedule time with your professor each week so that you can review the stuff you learned, especially if you haven’t done an online course before.

Allocating breaks during your sessions. If you have a session longer than 1 hour, schedule in a 15-minute break to help you stay focused.

Schedule additional study sessions for testing above and beyond the session times. Adding additional time to review assignments for tests works great. Plan at least a week ahead of a test some extra time to revisit sections.

By taking all these tips into account before starting your online college course, you will be ahead and ready to have successful online classes. Good luck to you and your future endeavors.

    This is such a challenging situation! I have two daughters in grad school trying to navigate this process. Group work, which has become standard, is also tough in this environment. I like the idea of scheduling time with the professor (if he/she offers it). Also, beware of those classes that are pre-recorded for you to listen to on your own time. Easy to fall behind on those!

    Great tips - I especially like "Organize your papers for the online course. Write the section and work at the top of each page to help your notebook be more organized. So, when you reference your notes, you can match them up with that section of the textbook for studying." This would work really well for me if I were taking a course.
