Just a note before we begin

Working remotely is part of the new business world. You'll likely be working online in some portion of your job no matter your profession. As we are navigating the next few weeks of online classes keep the following in mind: 

1. Get dressed - It matters to how you approach your work. PJs are nice but when you need to get down to business, put on some pants. 

2. Maintain your schedule - COME TO CLASS. What is true in person is still true online. Use the time you would be in class to "be in class" this will help you stay on track when we eventually come back to campus.  

3. Have the right tools 

• Download Zoom
• Learn to use the online SU library system
• Make sure your computer software is up to date
• Stay in contact with other students in the class
• Communicate with your professors often via chat, text, email, smoke signals, or in person at an off-campus location 

4. Communicate with your professors often - (It needs to be said twice.)

When submitting an assignment make sure you are giving your professors an update on how you are doing and how working remotely is working for you. For Crowley classes, send me a personal update every five days, to let me know how you are moving through the material in my class and in your other SU classes. 

Take a look at this list of best practices for online students from Northeastern University. There are many more good tips in here. Consider the next few weeks a new adventure. You will be learning new concepts and new things about yourself. Embrace the challenge.
