Profile of a
Successful Student
Part 1
A successful student…
… Takes responsibility for
his/her own learning
Online learning can be
powerful, stimulating, engaging experience for the student who can work and
think independently. However, since most-if not all- of the learning takes
place on your own time, you will not have the kind of direct supervision you
would in a classroom. Online learning therefore requires a significant commitment
from you. All education comes down to what you’re willing to invest in the
experience-this is particularly true in the online environment. Commitment,
self-discipline and self-motivation are all key qualities to ensuring success
in an online course!
… Is comfortable and
confident with written communication Reading and writing are the basis of most
online courses, so it’s critical that you feel comfortable with his form of
communication. While some courses contain modules that include videos or other
activities, all of them require significant amounts of reading. And nearly all
of your communication with your classmates and your instructor will be in
writing. If these are weak areas for you, you will want to address those issues
prior to enrolling or while enrolled in an online course. The PSU Writing Center
is available to assist you.
… is willing to be a member
of an online community.
