Profile of a
Successful Student
Part 1
A successful student …
… takes responsibility for his/her own learning
Online learning can be powerful, stimulating, engaging experience
for the student who can work and think independently. However, since most- if
not all- of the learning takes place on your own time, you will not have the
kind of direct supervision you would in a classroom. Online learning therefore
requires a significant commitment. All education comes down to what you’re willing
to invest in the experience- this is particularly true in the online environment.
Commitment, self-discipline and self-motivation are all key qualities to
ensuring success in an online course!
… is comfortable and confident with written communication
Reading and writing are the basis of most online courses, so it’s
critical that you feel comfortable with this form of communication. While some
courses contain modules that include videos or other activities, all of
them require significant amounts of reading. And nearly all your communication
with your classmates and your instructor will be in writing. If these are weak
areas for you, you will want to address those issues prior to enrolling or while
enrolled in an online course. The PSU Writing Center in available
to assist you.
… is willing to be a member of an online community.
