Profile of a Successful
Student
Part 1
A successful student…
…takes
responsibility for his/her own learning
Online learning can be a 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 from you. All
education comes down to what you’re willing to invest in the experience—this is
particular true in the online government. 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 required significant amounts of reading. And nearly all
of 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 is available to assist you.
…is
willing to be a member of an online community.
