Avoid all interruptions while you are viewing a video program, reading a textbook, working on the computer, or studying. Stay in touch with your instructor. Contact your instructor regularly, especially when you have questions about course content materials. Ask for help, if you need it. Be specific about any areas that you think are difficult or unclear.
Instructors are available in person, by phone, e-mail, mail, or fax.
Your instructor will let you know how he or she wishes to be contacted. Prepare for assignments and tests. Imagine questions that might be on a test from your study guide, from your textbook, from the video, or from the course assignments. Pay careful attention to instructions and be certain that you understand what is being asked when submitting assignments. Evaluate your own progress regularly.
