Plan your time

Time management is one of the most important strategies for getting started in your online studies. Add due dates to your calendar as soon as you have this information. Plan when you will actually study and work on assignments. Think about commitments you already have – work, family, even housework – then plan your routine.

Griffith University has a study planner that allows you to find out how much time you can dedicate to your studies.

Start thinking about assessment

You will have a lot of information about your assessment in the course site. Research has found putting the details of assessment into your own words will help you make a significant start on assessment tasks. For more on assessment, see What will assessment look like?

Get to know other students

Your course will include a platform for being a part of a learning community, so you can learn not just from the teaching staff, but from other students as well.

Ask for help
