I am still ticked off about UVA’s loss to VT in football this past Saturday. I am a University of Virginia fan and although we are more than competitive in all other sports (with a number of national championships), we just can’t rise above a “tolerable mediocrity” when it comes to our football program and spercifically our rivalry with Virginia Tech. Yes, we were outplayed and there were key moments in the game that we could not capitalize on, but it still doesn’t make this type of loss any easier.
Well, enough of that “venting” and on to more important things. As an adjunct faculty member for Liberty University’s online programs, I am often asked by my students how they should approach online learning. My advice is simple — find your best available time and place and make those your “personal” college classroom. If you are still finding that unexpected interruptions or unusual settings make consistent study patterns difficult do not panic. Do the little things that can pay big dividends — fully engage during your personal classroom time(s), place something on your computer or at your study area that remind you of your long-term educational goals, and use aides to help you focus - (e.g. “Do Not Disturb –Learning Taking Place” sign in your study.)
