What Does a Success Plan Look Like?
Imagine this: You’re enrolled in an 11-week NAU online course that demands about 14 hours per week of preparation and academic engagement. You work 40 hours a week, have a 3-hour weekly commute, and family responsibilities every evening. A personalized success plan might look like this:
Evenings (8:00 PM – 9:00 PM): Participate in online discussion forums.
Saturday Morning (9:00 AM – 12:00 PM): Work on assignments, such as drafting essays or completing tutorials.
Sunday Afternoon (1:00 PM – 5:00 PM): Read and review online course materials, prepare for the week ahead, and finalize submissions.
By aligning your coursework with your natural productivity patterns and life responsibilities, you can meet deadlines and reduce stress.
