TOPIC
An online course is quite different from a face-to-face course. Explain what skills and characteristics a student needs in order to excel in an online course.
An online course has its advantages over going to a class room. It has the flexibility on going to class at anytime, at home, work, lunch, middle of the night. Some of the draw backs would be if a need to do a real time conference or like any thing else procrastination. I personally like going to a class room and having the connection with the other students. I also like that going to a physical class room helps my stay on task. I am going to this class in the virtual world because I have move a small distance from the college. Well more like the farthest point while staying in the same country.
Skills I know I would need to excel at any writing class I take online would be; task management, steady internet connection, and the ability to B.S. my way, of which I lack. A good characteristic I could develop would be to push forward knowing my dislike for such things like essays.
Hard work and unwavering need to graduate will be my ally. The skills I take away from this class in the online realm may serve me to better my other classes this semester.
