2 ways to chisel "Responsible UPOU Student" in you

Some of us entered through UPOU through Under Graduate Assessment Test held on our respective Learning Centers. Some are from UP traditionals then transferred course to Online Learning for thousand beneficial gains. However, if you're from traditional type and decided to go Online Learning for the first time, there will be a drastic "Behavioral Change".

First, there won't be any classmates to ask schedules or answers from. Then, you have to read your module and understand it well. However, if something came up or you became complacent about the subject, then cramming is on the way to stress you up. So to avoid those what they call "hell week", the 7days before mid-terms or finals, we have to develop a plan, stick to it, learn to turn off the wifi, uninstall Apps, and go for audible lip reading.

1. Set a schedule

I recommend AsapScience's Science of Productivity because I reap the good GAINS after following their advice. So here's the video and let's pause for a while.

If you're a serious UPOU Student, you must have been flaring up with new and ablazed passion to start right now. Actually, their advices are more than enough and i can't add anything on it. So Yeah.

2. Be friendly and socialize

UPOU Students are real people. Why do you want to socialize? We have to consider that even if we are Online Learners, we can't teach ourselves by using modules alone. You need other people to ask informations, contribute what you know, and log out facebook once in a while. Yes! It's for your own sake.

Learning process is best achieved when you are in a group of people that you trust. And that's the best feeling of being an Online Learner, we trust each other. You can teach me and I am willing to learn from you. So both teacher and student persona became evident, spending their most precious time in united purpose which is to pass the ever precious and most awaited "release" of Final Grades.

Back to reality, admitting you don't know all things and you need others while anticipating to help them are signs of character maturity. Yes. So if you can attend to Student Initiated course Reviews, go. If you are on wheelchairs, will it stop you from learning? Is your wheels an excuse enough? No. Let the passion for Education become the feet that motivates you to take another step forward.

To sum it up, it is advisable to create fixed schedules and attend reviews. This will make you learn progressively and become a full-blooded, self-assessed, Responsible UPOU Student.
