Plan Your Essays!

Don’t go into an essay blind. It can be easy to get confused and distracted if you don’t plan it out. Make sure to make a detailed outline so you can stay on topic and plan transitions so your essay flows.

DO NOT USE CONTRACTIONS!A Contraction the use of an apostrophe to combine words that one could write in full. The use of contractions immediately makes the essay seem informal. College-level writing requires a formal voice which means no contractions!EXAMPLES: EXAMPLE:It’s It is DO NOT: I wouldn’t do something that wasn’t Don’t Do not wasn’t right because that’s somethingWasn’t Was not that I shouldn’t do.Shouldn’t Should not DO: I would not do something that was not right Wouldn’t Would not because that is something that I should not

do.

Schedule your time!

If you know you have limited time, set a goal to complete a certain amount of your assignment. Do one part at a time as to not overexert yourself. Take small breaks in between and come back to it with a fresh perspective on a new day. Take assignments day by day.

Rough draft

• Always make sure to have a rough draft and have a person check it.

Attend!

JUST LIKE A REGULAR CLASS, YOU MUST BE PRESENT

YOU MUST ATTEND AND PARTICIPATE IN THE CLASS CONVERSATIONS

PAY ATTENTION TO THE “ANNOUNCEMENTS” TAB, SO YOU ARE UP TO DATE ON WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE

WITHOUT COMING TO THE ONLINE CLASS, YOU WILL NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO… SO SHOW UP!!!
