… Takes responsibility for his/her own learning

Online learning can be a powerful, simulating, engaging experience for the student who can work and think independently.

10. Successful Student are goof time managers. Successful do not procrastinate. They have learned that time control is like control and have consciously chosen to be in control of their life.

An elemental truth:  you will either control time or be controlled by it! It’s your choice: you can lead or be led, establish control or relinquish control, steer your own course or follow others. No failure to take control of their own time is probably the no. 1 study skills problems for college students. It ultimately causes many students to become non-students! Procrastinators are good excuse makers. Don’t make academics harder on yourself than it has to be. Stop procrastinating. And don’t wait until tomorrow to do it!

The 10 items above are the paraphrased from an article by Larry M Ludewig called Ten Commandments for Effective Study Skills which appeared in the Teaching Professor, December, 1992.
