学费和杂费

Online classes require a distinctive set of skills that differ from those used in a face-to-face classroom. Before signing up for an online class you need to know and understand the needed skills and commitment that are vital to your online success.

The responsibilities of a successful online student is greater than it is in a face-to-face class. 要想在在线课程中取得成功，你需要具备以下特点:

• 自我激励: You will need to log-in daily to your online classes to find information about assignments and to ask for help when needed.
• 自律: 尽管在线课程很灵活，没有固定的上课时间, 你将有每周的截止日期. 你需要能够在这些截止日期前完成，而不是落后.
• 时间管理: Some falsely believe online classes do not take up as much study time as traditional face-to-face classes. The truth is, online classes take up just as much, if not more, time than face-to-face classes. 你需要每周至少花6-9个小时来学习每门3学分的课程.g., if you are taking 12 credit hours, you will need to spend 72-108 hours per week of study time).
• 优秀的阅读 & 写作技巧: With online classes your learning is done independently and much of what is learned is through assigned readings and writings. 在线课程通常比面对面的课程要求更多的阅读和写作.
• 良好的计算机技能: 你必须能够收发电子邮件, 知道如何发送带有附件的电子邮件, 浏览网页, 并使用计算机软件，如文字处理程序.
• 可靠的电脑: you must have access to a computer that meets all the technical requirements and has dependable Internet access

To help you decide if online learning is right for you evaluate your online readiness by completing the Readiness Assessment, 这将有助于衡量你对在线学习的准备程度.
