How to study for an online/hybrid class

After speaking with my students last semester, I thought it might be wise to give you all a plan for attacking the course. I have one face-to-face class this semester, but the rest of you are in a hybrid or an online class. For my online and hybrid classes, I assign all of your work for the week at one time. For all of you except for one class, your work is due on Thursday. My guess is that most of you will leave all of this work to complete for Wednesday. This is not a good plan. I have made videos of all of the lessons that I teach. All of these videos are made available to you all in Moodle. For my hybrid classes, I will go over this material in class whenever we meet. However, because of your schedules, you may not want to wait until a class meeting to get started on our work for the week. Therefore, I would advise that you all look at the videos on Saturday. I would then suggest that you start trying to complete assigned work on Sunday. If you run into trouble, there are other tutorials created by Pearson that I have uploaded to your Mylanguagelabs site. You might then want to look over these as well. I would then continue to work on your assignments, trying to complete them by Monday. I would leave Tuesdays and Wednesdays free for completing graded assignments--essays, orals, tests, and quizzes
