Pitfalls

I have found while teaching in the online environment that many students underestimate the amount of time an assignment will take to complete, especially within the first few weeks of a course. I try to offer time guidelines for the different assignments as well as reminders for them to get started. Many students think assignments may not take them too long but soon are faced with reality. Usually after the first few weeks they figure out a schedule and routine that works for them.

Jean,

That is a great strategy. I actually began creating a calendar for them to help them begin to plan for their "life". It does work.
