In every online class, some students are wildly successful, some earn average or slightly below-average grades, some barely pass, some fail, and some drop out. Whatever a student's age, situation, or lifestyle, everything needed for successfully completing an online class is right here in this book. Each chapter covers a specific element of online learning and provides the new online student with practical strategies and how-to information so that any student can go into an online classroom prepared to succeed. This book has strategies and tips that every online professor wants students to know before they sign up for an online class. Bowman has provided a reference tool for students to develop self-directed learning skills that will help them become secure and knowledgeable about technology, studying, communicating online, and getting work done on time.

This book will serve any student who desires success. The pitfalls of procrastination cannot be stressed enough, which I believe is why the author reiterates commitment to time and organization throughout. Once a student adopts some of the strategies for time management and organization, the better grades just happen. I believe the information in this manual is well suited to guiding the student toward the choices that will inevitably lead to success.
