Online courses are "open 24/7." This can be either a blessing
or a curse depending on how you structure your course time.
Obviously the "always open" nature of online learning means
that it offers terrific flexibility since you can login
and participate literally any time - but some students may
feel like they need to or should be logged in all the time,
since the class is technically always in session. Though
we highly value regular participation and expect that you
spend ample time on coursework, we also value a balanced
approach. Working too long in and on your course can be
very detrimental and may cause you to burn out. With stakes
that high, it's clear why it's important to pace yourself.
