      Your Online College Course Survival Guide - Jacqueline Myers

      Praise for Your Online College Course Survival Guide

      "Your Online Course Survival Guide gets down to the nitty-gritty of making online education work for you. Jacqueline Myers of Nitty-Gritty English knows her stuff—she has created a guide based on long experience and includes several anecdotes from student experiences gone wrong, as well as laying out clear and supportive advice for making the best of online classes. My favorite feature is the Success Strategies: Action Tips that summarize each chapter in quick, bite-sized lists that both serve as reminders and put the student in the action seat to make the most of their educational outcomes. If you're riding this wave of online education, it's a good idea to get it right—check out this guide and get back to your studies!" 

      ~Katie Dwyer, My College Advice

      My College Advice

      "An experienced educator and a life-long student, Ms. Myers shares excellent and easy-to-follow strategies for succeeding in the virtual classroom. This online course survival guide will walk you through the nitty-gritty of preparation, acing the classes and even effective communication with professors. Whether you are a current or a returning student Your Online Course Survival Guide is a must on your bookshelf." 

      ~Kat Bakhmetyeva, Study Hack

      Study_Hack

      As an online instructor I am always amazed at how many students sign up for their first online course and think they are prepared and then suffer the torments of the first half of the semester trying to figure out the ins and outs of taking an online course.  I’ve been waiting for an educator to write a book just like this—one that will clearly explain to my online college students the subtle, yet vital, differences in the skill sets necessary for doing well and actually learning in the virtual classroom! Jacqueline Myers has come to the rescue of online students with her 10 success tips that students can immediately implement while tackling their online course(s).  As promised, the book is written for college students of all types by a legitimate online college educator. Students get the core strategies of successful online learning, all in one easy-to-read guide. I can’t express my gratitude for this book, and I look forward to the difference I will see in student performance in my classes once my students hear about this book...and they will! From me!

      ~Ansel Glover-Oakleaf, MA

      The Ohio State University

      "Your Online College Course Survival Guide is a fantastic resource for anyone taking online classes, regardless of whether you are a veteran student or a brand new freshman! As a student, I have taken my fair share of online courses, and I must say that the difference between the traditional classroom setting and an online classroom can be beyond overwhelming. The strategies that Ms. Myers has outlined in this book are spot on! She covers time management, email communication, and even those dreaded discussion posts! I highly recommend this book to anyone taking or planning to take an online course! Reading real advice from an experienced professor beats learning by trial and error any day (plus, it’s easier on your GPA)!"

      ~Kirsten Horton, Organized Charm

      "I have taught online classes for many years and experienced the topics discussed in Your Online College Course Survival Guide.  I find this book interesting to read, comprehensive in subject matter, and presented in an easily understood manner.  It is a great tool to use when entering or improving your existing approach and success with the online learning environment."
