How to Get Back on Track in Your Class after Falling Behind:
(excerpts from this U.S. News article)
1. Make a plan: Online students need structure, and a study calendar is a great way to create it. Check your syllabus before your course kicks off, and commit to due dates on your calendar. Then, designate study times for each class, and stick to them.
2. Work daily: One draw of online classes is that students only need Internet access to connect to their courses. If you have an iPhone or Android device, leverage it to stay organized. Turning school into a daily activity makes it less overwhelming.
3. Look ahead: Knowing what is due in six weeks, not just the next day, can help students maximize their time. And once you know when an assignment is due, don't wait until the day before to start working on it.
4. Speak up: If you struggle or fall behind, don't stay silent. Students need to be proactive. Even if the course seems like a total loss, there is someone who can help.
