Nowadays a lot of educators strive to on-line courses as it’s the most convenient way for them to get additional education of just “fresh” information. I also registered for some courses and very soon understood how difficult this course can be without proper time management and self-organization. Here is what I use in order to maintain among my on-line education, work and my little son.
- When you register for a particular course, pay close attention to its requirements, assignments and deadlines (all of them are in the syllabus). If you think you cannot manage, just postpone for a better time and take another one! Remember, education is for pleasure, not for torture!
- Keeping any type of a calendar is very helpful. No need to remember information which can be easily accessed.
- Plan your work for the whole week and try to do your best to meet your personal deadlines!
- Stay in touch with course mates and the instructor. They can help you in certain situations when you cannot manage something. One head is good but two is better!
