Student Action Plan:

With our current set up, we must learn not just from the lectures alone but also with the
assignments, quizzes, and exams. To effectively transfer my knowledge to the students they
must participate with the discussions, answer learning materials not just for the sake of passing
but for learning.

I understand that that the current set up is quite distracting but to ensure that the students act
effectively they must follow this action plan to the best of their capabilities:

1. Set up a study plan to effectively manage your time.

2. Write a pros and cons sheet as to what are the good and the bad things that are
affecting your online study and manage accordingly.
3. Communicate with your peers and your teacher regarding any class related issues.
4. Read in advance prior to joining a lecture.
 5. Find a study buddy to work on the modules with but also make sure to understand what
you are trying to accomplish.
6. Read instructions carefully in answering activities and completing tasks.
