Discuss What's Learned
- It is always helpful to discuss what you are learning with others in your daily life. They may have helpful input and just talking about what you learned helps it to stay in your mind better.

Avoid Procrastination
- Never procrastinate, whatever you do. Get those assinments done as quickly and correctly as you can. You never know what kind of ball every day life may throw at you that can cause you to fall behind. Work through any frustrations you may have with a topic in the class. Keep at it and overcome the difficulty. Seek an online tutor if need be.

Participate
- Always participate in discussion giving your opinion or reply to others opinion so that you engage yourself as you do in FB.

Finish What You Start
- It was hard with my two year program at first. I used a few different motivations- I like to learn, I need the challenge, and I look at my progress - I am almost done now, and that it my motivation. I only have three classes left, and two classes will be when I start my student teaching. My motivation now- finish what you start.
