Online classes can be difficult, even more so when you have multiple. I think everyone got a good idea of online classes during covid. Unfortunately for my school we did it on a pass-fail basis instead of A, B, C, D, F. This means that when I started taking online classes in college, I had no idea what to do. Luckily, I found how to adapt quickly, and have chosen to have two online classes next semester. When we have in-person classes as well as online classes, we tend to lose sight of our online classes because we don’t have to wake up every morning to go to a class. That was something I learned the hard way. After I had struggled immensely at making sure my assignments were turned in on time, I figured out a schedule.
I don’t always sick to this schedule because life gets in the way. Recently I have found that the only way I do my work for my online class is if I leave my dorm and go to the library. I know that work for other classes can get a little heavier at times and this is why I have struggled to stick to this schedule. When I have a lot of work to do for my other classes I make a point to work on my online classes over the weekend. It doesn’t matter what I have going on over the weekend, I always make time. I got lucky in the fact that my homework is posted on a Monday and isn’t due until the Monday after, which is why I get to use a few hours over the weekend to be productive. In order to succeed in online classes, you need to have a time set aside for you to do the work. I have found it easier to have 2 days just in case one day gets a bit busy. The most important part is to have balance between your online classes and your in-person classes.
