After doing research on how to be successful in online and hybrid classes I confirmed my statement that these classes are not for everyone. Probably the most important thing to keep in mind with online classes is that you need to be familiar with computers. According to an online article there are many factors that determine how well you will do in an online class. Some things you can do to benefit your success are, use a planner, set a specific time to do assignments and I designated quiet area, print out a class syllabus, and make sure to email your teacher with any questions. If you want to read more about these steps to take to succeed you can find the information at http://www.linkroll.com/online-distance-learning/how-to-be-successful-with-online-learning-classes.php. Another helpful website I found was http://www.ehow.com/how_4793443_successful-online-classes.html. This site gives four very helpful tips for doing well in online classes. The first step states that you must discipline yourself, unlike traditional classes you do not get to meet your professor face to face, so there is no body telling you once or twice a week to do your assignments. You must motivate yourself to stay on top of things. The other steps suggest taking advantage of contact information from your teacher, pace yourself, remember that online classes are different from regular ones and you might need to do your own research to understand material.
