As #CofC heads into its 251st year, students and p As #CofC heads into its 251st year, students and professors offer tips on how to be successful in online education. How are you preparing for a successful semester?  ➡️ Tips from students:
🔘 “I use journals and write everything down by hand to keep track of my responsibilities,” - @cofchonors student Brandon.  🔘 “Take it upon yourself to reach out to professors about anything you’re struggling with or issues you’re having – email, go to office hours, whatever you need to do,” - Dylan, freshman majoring in international studies.  🔘 “Manage your time carefully,” - Hunter, a senior double-majoring in  @cofcbiology and Spanish.  🔘 “Go to a neutral location for Zoom classes, like the library, where there are less distractions,” says Misha, a @sotacofc senior double-majoring in piano performance and arts management.  ➡️ Tips from faculty:
🔘 Be organized. “Spread the work out throughout the week,” says Devon Hanahan, senior instructor of Hispanic studies.  🔘 “Make use of all the technology available,” says Kameelah Martin, director of African American studies.  🔘 Communication with professors is really important. “Never send me an email to say, ‘I’m sorry for contacting you.’ I’m delighted to be contacted by a student,” says teacher education professor Margaret Hagood.  🔘 Be active learners. “A really important part of the puzzle is for students to spend time focusing on their own engagement and what their role is in becoming an active learner in the class,” says Beth Goodier, associate professor of @cofccomm.
