Online courses are no easier than an on-campus course. An
online student spends lots of time on the discussion boards,
reading texts in books, written assignments, researching and
interacting with classmates in the chat room. Students that login
to their classes every day usually find a good, and comfortable
learning environment. Students believe online education may
demand more time and involvement than a course on-campus,
students feel their learning practices are real and deserve the
time. Essential and quality information towards an online course
is a necessary role regarding the education process. The
education process expects the student to make choices based on
facts as well as knowledge. Learning information and
performing the best choices and decision. Staying on top and
finishing work on time is important. Once a student gets behind,
it is almost hard to catch up. Essentially, the student must
desire to be there and needs to want the education.
To be a strong online student, students must be determined and
goal-oriented as students work to achieve their week through
weekly assignments, and work with classmates in their online
class. Browsing and knowing the up-coming week's assignments
and materials, responding to the discussion board and
completing deadline are characteristics of a successful student
in an online classroom. Online classes move quickly and
professors sometimes acknowledge understudies to "make up"
missed online assignments. It's good for students to be prepared
in making a daily schedule to allows students to achieve up-
coming deadlines. it's good to practice a regular signing in and
posting in the classroom to stay up to date on assignments.
Strong online students agree that their professors are facilitators
of their education means and that only the student can be as

3. dedicated and goal-oriented to their self. Online students should
be motivated and goal-oriented. It's on that student to put their
education first.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1. Objective. A military executive summary (EXSUM) is like a
tactical operation:
well-planned, sharp and to the point. Assume that your chain of
command or fellow staff officers / NCOs will read only your
EXSUM and make their decision based on the information there.
That is the exact reason why the EXSUM is so important and as
a Senior NCO you should know how to properly prepare one.
2. Instructions. Prepare an EXSUM on the enclosed
ALARACT 293/2012, Subject: HQDA EXORD 10-13 in
support of the HQDA FY 13-15 Active Component Manning
Guidance for your Brigade Commander and Command Sergeant
Major. Prepare your executive summary using Arial font, 12
pitch. It may be no longer than one page in length. Use DA
Memo 25-52, Staff Action Process and Correspondence
Policies, for the format and style of an executive summary.
Your office symbol is ATSG-NCOA. The S-1, MAJ Peter
Burke, is the approving official for your EXSUM.
3.You must do your own original work. The SLC Written
Communication Rubrics will be used to assess your work. Tips:
· Use the active voice. Employ the elements of good Army
writing. Don't use a big word when a small one will do; avoid
run-on sentences.
· Do not overstate and do not overwrite. Like all military
matters, do -- or in this case, say -- what has to be said and
move on.

4. · Speak to the audience of your executive summary. If your
report is for high-ranking officers or NCOs, it requires a more
formal tone than if the report is to be read by privates.
· Write a thesis statement that addresses the major thrust of the
executive summary. Rather than quietly wading in, drop the
bombshell and get the reader's attention in the first sentence of
the executive summary.
· Leave your executive summary for at least 24 hours and then
edit it for typing and grammar mistakes. Read the summary
aloud and assess it for proper military tone.
