During class
One approach that has been proven effective
is called the Cornell note-talking system. Here are some of its method. Start
by using the main section of your page to take down your notes during class. Be
sure to leave space on the left side of the page and the bottom. Things to keep
in mind:
1.
Get the speaker’s main points. Don’t
write down word you hear.
2.
Leave blanks in your notes to add
explanations later.
3.
Organize as you write. Pay attention
to cues such as repetition and emphasis
4.
Indicate main and supporting points
as you go
5.
Jot down key vocabulary important
facts and formulas
6.
Ask question. If you’re confused,
it’s better to ask while the material is fresh in your mind.

Distance education: is a virtual classroom for you?
Part 4 of 4
Emphasis on the written word
Most of the communication, as well as the course work, in
distance-learning classes is written. That’s a plus, because the focus on the
written word gives you the opportunity to develop as writer—and strong writing
skills are essential to academic success. However, if writing is a serious
weakness for you virtual learning may not be the best educational option until
you improve your skills. Yes, most of distance education is the written word;
therefore, you need to be a good reader, love to read, and love writing also.
Most of your assignments will be written and submitted to the instructor in the
written format. Your penmanship needs to be excellent, spelling great, sentence
structure above average, vocabulary extraordinary. You need to have online
access with reliable equipment. If your internet communication from home and
will need to go to someplace where you do have access to the internet.
Decide whether it’s right for you
Distance education isn’t for everyone, but it just might be for you. you
really should seek it out and give it a try. You might even fall in love with
distance education. While distance education may be perfect alternative for
some students, it’s not the right choice
for everyone. So carefully consider your unique needs and interests and give
distance education a try; then, decide if it right for you.

Distance Education: is a virtual classroom for you?
Part 3
Challenging aspects of distance education
. Lack of in-person interaction: some educators argue that both
teacher-student and student-student contact are essential to learning . in a distance-learning
classroom, you may be able to participate in class discussions online in chat
rooms, message boards or web conferences—but it’s not the same as being with
other students in a classroom.
. Different levels of quality: many distance-education programs supply
an excellent learning experience, but others may not.
Research any program before signing on to make sure it’s rigorous
enough. If you are choosing your own program, look into its accreditation before
enrolling.
. The need to self-start: distance education lets you make your own
schedules. If you have hard time getting motivated, this might not be the ideal
educational setting for you.
