Answer:
Dear Titans,
We are all going through some crazy times right now with how our lives have been uprooted because of COVID-19. In many of my conversations with others, people are just trying to consume what is happening and don’t know what to do. They are navigating through the situation the best way they know how. What makes it even more scary is the feeling of not knowing when it is going to end. Now fold in all the students who are being asked to change their educational learning environment from interacting and socializing with friends, professors, and other students everyday in a classroom or while walking around campus to changing by learning and engaging all online.
I am sure some of you feel that changing to online classes won’t be as enriching or as beneficial. My experiences have been completely opposite.
held a professional career for over thirty years, primarily learned through interacting with friends, colleagues, and in-person formalized training. About two years ago, I too experienced a drastic educational learning curve when I decided to earn my bachelor’s degree entirely through online courses. I have always been the type of person who preferred to learn in a classroom, so I was very apprehensive on whether I would be successful in strictly learning and socializing with classmates through online courses.
From day one, I had a ton of help pointing me in the right direction. My advisor familiarized me with getting courses scheduled. I had access to a strong support system and assistance from my professors, which made my online learning experience both positive and educational.
Even though my courses are online, professors are constantly advocating and promoting engagement between classmates. Online discussion posts really promote interaction, idea sharing and hearing different points of view. Having the ability to learn new technology through my online courses and using them to communicate with others has been very beneficial and effective. I was able to give speeches and share them with my classmates for feedback, which gave me new ideas on how I can become a better speaker and communicator. These are the same benefits you get by engaging in a classroom.
Another huge benefit in taking online courses is the flexibility of not having to commit to going to class at a certain time everyday. It gives you the opportunity to create your own schedule, but it still provides an engaging experience.
Some ideas to help you transition to online learning are really not that much different than taking in person classes.
Plan early, get an understanding of your professors expectations by reading over the syllabus, get a good grasp of the class schedule and figure out the best way on how to engage and communicate with other classmates and more importantly your professors. Every professor is different, so it is best to get to know their expectations early on.
Over-communicate, if you have any misunderstanding on assignments or course expectations communicate them to your professor early and often. They will appreciate the constant engagement and interest in wanting to be successful in the course.
Again, make sure you get a good understanding of the course schedule. This will really help you plan out your time each week to adequately fit in course assignments. Planning ahead will help in reducing stress, create high quality results on homework, prepare for tests, and successfully balance both your personal life and job responsibilities.
Adapting to being at home more than usual and not having a typical social life is a drastic change for all us. It can give you a feeling of loneliness and anxiety. The only way to tackle these feelings head on is to stay positive and develop ways to stay connected with others. What makes it easier is because nowadays there are many ways we can stay connected with others.
