This means that we will run a one percent risk of declaring that our lecture had an impact on student opinion when in fact it did not. Student responses to key survey questions will also be analyzed to judge weather or not students have a better understanding of the ethical responsibilities and potential social impacts of distance learning. Avoid disruptions and distractions during the time you have reserved for viewing and studying. Contact the instructor by phone or email for help if you have trouble understanding a unit of study. Be sure to attend on-campus sessions for orientation, discussion, and examinations.
Many classes require a few on-campus sessions.
Make sure you have cover to all of the written material from the instructor as well as the textbook and study guide. Identify a study partner for each course or form a small group of three to five people. Develop a set of notes for each unit of the course so you can review for examinations without having to read the entire text just before the exam. Develop a vocabulary list of terms that are important to the course, especially those that are unfamiliar to you. Write definitions in your own words and review them at the end of each reading.
