The Model Of Bethel's Virtual Classroom

Although Bethel University structures its virtual classroom around the model of a traditional classroom there are some differences between the two that are important for students to understand in order to succeed. Bethel’s online program requires each student to attend a lecture, read the course material, participate in a classroom discussion, and submit assignments as in any other classroom setting.
The difference is that the online program is flexible; students do not have to be in one place at the same time. If a student wants to complete the coursework on Friday afternoon that is acceptable. Just as well, another might complete the coursework a little bit each night throughout the week sitting on the couch after work.This makes it easier

Each student has skills that seem to come natural and skills that need to be improved on. The skills that I am bringing to the program that will help me succeed are experience, structure, organization, and technical ability. In order to succeed, it is just as important to be aware of the skills that need improvement. The skills that I need to improve on are time management and motivation.
My experience from attending other schools will help me because I already have a clear picture of what is expected from me. I am a type of person that strives for structure and organization. I do not need the same attention as a student that would thrive in a traditional classroom setting. Another skill that will help me succeed in this program is technical ability. This skill is one that I have had to work on through the years but has become very familiar to me. I graduated from an online high school and attended other schools that implemented online correspondence in some aspects of

My time management and motivation go hand in hand for me. I work a full time job and go to school so sometimes my motivation to get things done is low. Time management is a skill that I have to work really hard with to make sure everything that needs to get done is accomplished. I usually try to even this out by doing a little bit of school work each day. Focusing on one task at a time is more effective than multi-tasking when trying to accomplish goals. When a task becomes second nature sometimes people think focusing on more than one task can make things go by faster. The truth is that making sure the job is done right before starting on another task is more effective. This has become common because time management is hard for so many people. When different types of priorities such as work, school, raising a family, and having personal time come into play people do not know how to schedule time.
When a task is repeated over and over again it becomes second nature and is no longer challenging. That is when people become complacent and give the task less attention while completing it. For example, when someone sends a text message while driving, diving is no longer the priority and you become a hazard on the road. In this scenario multi-tasking is not only less efficient, it is also
