Student Success Statement

“When I was teaching basketball, I urged my players to try their hardest to improve on that very day, to make that practice a masterpiece.

This rule is even more important in life then in basketball. You have to apply yourself each day to become a little better. By applying yourself to the task of becoming a little better each and every day over a period of time, you will become a lot better. Only then will you be able to approach being the best you can be. It begins by trying to make each day count and knowing you can never make up for a lost day.”

-John wooden

Reflection: This means that you can make yourself better and better every day by just trying and having patients

Example: You can be playing a sport and you really don’t know how the game I played, but if you watch the game and practice it you’ll become better and better every single day

Tip 3: Do Research

Literary Critics have written vast numbers of analytically and critical pieces on countless books. If you’re having trouble understanding a particular text, do some research and see what knowledgeable sources have to say about it. In addition to increasing your comprehension, you’ll also be showing initiative, something teachers always like to see. Always use legitimate and scholarly sources, not condensed study guides.

Tip 4: Use a Dictionary

Make sure you have access to a dictionary when you’re reading. You can often figure out meaning of an unfamiliar word by using context clues, but sometimes you can’t. Rather than simply skipping over the words you don’t know, take the time to look them up. The results are well worth the effort. Your comprehension will increase greatly, and you’ll build your vocabulary at the same time.

Tips 1-2

Tip 1: Annotate

Be an active reader. Instead of passively reading a text, take notes about important story elements, key factual information and significant ideas in the text

Tip 2: Note the Authors writing Style

Every author writes a purpose, using deliberate methods to successfully relate specific information to the audience. When you’re reading, look for patterns in the authors writing. For example, you may notice repletion of key words, phrases or symbols --- or the use of a distinct type of sentence structure. Authors empty these writing strategies to help readers comprehend a central argument or theme, so be sure to explore how these techniques create meaning.

Emphasis on the Written Word

Most of the communications, as well as the course work, in distance-learning classes is written. That’s plus, because the focus on the written word gives you the opportunity to develop as a writer --- And strong writing skills are essential to academic success. However, if writing is a serious weakness for you, virtual learning may not be the best education option until you improve your skills. Yes, most of distance education is the written word; therefore, you need to be a good reader, I love to read, and love writing also. Most of your assignments will be written and submitted to the instructor in the written format. Your penmanship needs to be excellent, spelling great, sentence structure above average, vocabulary extraordinary. You need to have online access with reliable equipment. If your internet communication at home isn’t working, you can’t do online education from home and will need to go to someplace where you do have access to the internet

Decide whether it’s right for you

Distance education isn’t for everyone, but it just might be for you.

You really should seek it out and give it a try. You never know until you try. You might even fall in love with distance education. While distance education may be the perfect alternative for some students; it’s not the right choice for everyone. So carefully consider your unique need and interest and give distance educational try; then, decide if it is right for you.
