3 Tips to Stay Focused in an Online Course
Maybe you joined an online course to step up the career ladder, or maybe you are planning to
take up a new hobby. Whatever your motivation, signing up for e-Learning can be exciting.
But without someone to monitor and motivate you, it can be easy to lose focus. Here are three
tips to help you stay calm and focused:
Make a Plan:
When you receive the syllabus, look over it carefully and take note of all the important
deadlines. Set up a calendar noting all of these assignments and look at it daily so that you
remember what’s coming. Divide big tasks into small ones and work on them every day until
entire projects are complete. Plan times to study, to research, to collaborate, and then time to
work alone.
Check-in Every Day:
Most online courses require students to log in for a minimum amount of time. Some colleges
take away points for not meeting requirements, while others do not reward points until you
meet the minimum login time. Remember to comment on discussion boards without fail. You
should also contribute to the discussion to make a positive impression on the instructor.
Ask for Help:
More often than not, people shy away from asking help because they’re either shy or not
comfortable chatting on the online chat forum. Since online learning is self-directed,
instructors will assume you understand a topic unless you say otherwise. If you do not
understand a topic or need clarification for something, you can always ask the instructor for
help. And if you need help with resources, speak to your fellow students in the online forum.
But if you need help completing an assignment, call us! At Online Class Help, we work with
students and complete their homework for them. We can help you complete an assignment,
comment on your discussion boards for you, and even help with citations and references. All
that you have to do is to call us and ask, ‘can you take my online class for me?’
Use these tips to stay focused and complete your assignments on time.
Resource Box: The Author manages Online Class Help, a website that helps students
complete the assignments on time. Students looking for assistance can call them up and ask,
‘can you take my online class?’
