Organizing Your Time

Since there is no specific time when you need to complete your coursework, time management and organization are critical to your success. Here are some tips for organizing your time:

• Set aside time at least every other day to work on course material. Enable the course email notifications so you can easily follow the discussion board and participate.
• Ask a fellow student to be your buddy and do weekly check-in calls or emails with him or her. Use this communication to hold each other accountable.
• Ask someone close to you (e.g., a co-worker, spouse, friend, etc.) to act as a support person who can provide encouragement and remind you to complete your work.
