With the outbreak and spread of new coronavirus in the world, many countries have banned unnecessary gatherings of residents. Many institutions such as schools, governments, companies, etc. have implemented work and study at home to reduce travel and avoid infection. In fact, online courses are common in many universities or colleges, but not many online courses.

And many online courses are basic courses. But regardless of the online class or the class in the classroom, students must use the computer, because many teachers will put the ppt and assignments in the class on the school's online.

In addition to ppt and homework, some teachers also like to put quizzes online for students to complete. As we all know, the Western teaching system calculates the average score of this student, so each assignment, mid-term exam, and large project each have a proportion of the total score.

Many schools announced in mid-March that they had cancelled students to go to class and changed to online courses. Here is some news from the university's official website. ‍

In addition to changing the class going to the classroom to an online class, other courses and exam arrangements will be displayed on the school's official website. Students only need to log in with the student account to get comprehensive and up-to-date information and guidance. Let's talk about the online courses suggested by "Maclean".

In the past few years, online learning has become an important learning experience in major schools. According to a survey by EduConsillium, a consulting company, 29% of Canadian students have registered for online courses. But is every online course the same? How do you make sure that the online course is right for you? If you choose online courses, how do you make sure you get a high score? Here are some suggestions for students:

Know yourself

The online course is a double-edged knife, which will bring relative advantages and disadvantages according to your personal life and how to study. For example, you can work anywhere at any time. If you have ideal work or family responsibilities, this is a huge benefit.

However, just because you can study course materials at any time does not mean that there is no deadline. What many people overlook is that although students have some freedom to complete reading and homework, this does not mean that it can be completed at any time because the homework is time-limited, and it will be over the time specified by the teacher. It is regarded as incomplete.

This may cause the progress of individual students to lag those students who have planned to study and have strong self-control. The suggestion here is that before choosing online learning, please consider whether you are a self-motivated learner and whether the reported courses are interesting enough for you to learn. Look for courses that include mandatory discussion sections, multiple small assignments or group projects to maintain participation.

Work according to schedule

A simple suggestion that you often hear is: Write online courses into your weekly schedule, just like going to class. According to a professor who has taught in the classroom and online, Professor Alex Davidson of Wayne State University has personally described that online courses usually have lower grades. He pointed out that in the online course lecture video he posted, the number of views never reached the full class. This shows that many students are reluctant to watch videos or teaching lectures. Therefore, it is recommended that students make sure to arrange time to watch videos uploaded by professors, read materials and participate in online discussion areas.

Build relationships

The biggest complaint about online courses is that it lacks human interaction. Social relations are usually an important part of learning. You can take some measures to alleviate this situation. For example, enroll in online courses with friends so that you can study together and motivate and supervise each other. You can also contact students on the class discussion board, organize a study group, or arrange a face-to-face meeting with your professor or TA to discuss course concepts.

Treat Like a traditional course

 In the final analysis, online courses have more workload than traditional classroom courses, sometimes even more! The only difference is the increased online convenience. But please note that online courses are still part of formal education.

Emma Vossen, a postdoctoral researcher at York University, has taught several online courses and noticed a disturbing trend: her online course students are not as respectful of others as students in traditional classrooms because they sometimes will the class discussion area is regarded as an online discussion area.

We all know that the Internet can be a bad place. Since we are not responsible for what we say, sometimes it may hurt others or disrespect others. We should strive to be respected students. When it comes to professional ethics, manners and commitment, remember to treat online courses like traditional classroom courses.
