General Best Practices:

 

Log On!

Log on to your course at least three or four times per week. For discussion forum activities, you’ll need to post an initial response to a discussion question early in the week, then log onto the course site throughout the week to read and respond to classmates’ comments and elaborate on your own.

Read the Syllabus!

Read the syllabus on the first day of the course; print off a hard copy or keep a digital copy on your mobile device to refer to throughout the course.

Write Down Dates!

Record all dates for assignments, exams, tests for the entire course in your calendar, and add reminders.
