Profile of a Successful Student
Part 1
A successful student …
… takes responsibility for his/her own learning
Online learning can be a
powerful, stimulating, engaging experience for the student who can work and

place on your own time, you will not have the kind of direct supervision you
would in a classroom. Online learning therefore requires a significant
commitment from you. All education comes down to what you’re willing to invest
in the experience-this is particularly true in the online environment.
Commitment, self-discipline and self-motivation are all key qualities to
ensuring success in an online course!

online courses, so it’s critical that you feel comfortable with this form of
communication. While some courses contain modules that include videos or other
activities, all of your communication with your classmates and your instructor
will be in writing. If these are weak areas for you, you will want to address
those issues prior to enrolling or while enrolled in an online course. The PSU Writing
Center is available to assist you.
