Achieving Success Online, Brick by Brick

Little Pig
Posted by Mary Beth Erskine on Wed, Feb 27, 2013

To be a successful online student, take advantage of academic resources early in your college career.

We all know what happened to the two little pigs who built their houses out of straw and sticks.

One puff from the big, bad wolf and “poof.”

Gone.

We also know that the third little pig built his house out of bricks.

He understood that a solid foundation would enable him to prevail when the wolf came knocking on his door. So he took a proactive approach. Even though it cost him more time and energy upfront, he believed the investment was worth it.

Be proactive: take advantage of academic resources.

The same principle applies to academic success. Build a firm foundation right from the start, and you’ll be able to withstand the winds of rigorous courses and stand triumphant, degree in hand.

Do that by taking advantage of academic resources early in your college career.

For example, before your first paper is due, do you know the best way to conduct research online? How to tackle one of those intimidatingly long and complex scholarly journals? Or how you can use Turnitin to help sharpen your paraphrasing, quoting, and stylistic skills?

To enable Saint Leo University students to answer “yes” to those questions, psychology faculty member Dr. Shannon Farris created eCOACH Online Learning.

Turnitin Webcast

30-Minute Webcast Series: Grading the Top 100 Student Sources with Drs. Shannon Farris and Thom McHugh

Based on a recent Turnitin analysis, nearly 50% of student sources come from sites with content of questionable educational value. What are these sites and how do they rate in terms of appropriateness, quality of content, and value?

This webcast will explore the top 100 student sources that secondary and higher education student use, including the top questionable and creditable sites. We also provide suggestions on how to better guide students in conducting appropriate research online.
