Many students today are tackling online learning for the first time. Maybe you are finding yourself in the same situation. Your 'new normal' is more of a 'new challenge' than ever before. Perhaps you're asking your friends and family for advice. Maybe you spoke with your boss or coworkers for guidance. But at the end of the day, it's the advice of those who came before you and accomplished their goals that prove invaluable. With that in mind, we asked our students and alumni to share one their top do's and don'ts for new students taking online courses for the first time, and we gathered the top comments into one SlideShare. Each slide offers valuable advice from students just like you, for you. Whenever you need a bit of inspiration, click through these slides until you find just what you’re looking for.
