REMOTE LEARNING TIPS
Time management is key to productive learning. Keep a calendar, check in daily, use the syllabus to look ahead, and contact your professor if you start to fall behind.
Stay focused. Hide your phone and other distractions when tuning in to your classes. Use the transcript feature on Zoom if reading along to your lectures helps.
Develop a routine. Wake up the same time every day, eat a well-balanced breakfast, and develop set times for classes, work, and other responsibilities.
When collaborating remotely, lay out a clear plan for communication methods, have regular video check-ins as a team, and try to get to know each other socially.
