Online Courses Books

This is a wonderful book for medical students. I am thinking of buying more 'Crash Course' series books. The visual impression is just great !

I used this book during my respiratory course and board review and found it very helpful to get the information I needed without having to read long chapters in textbooks. I recommend this book!

Serving as proof that even the most inauspicious of beginnings, i.e. the dreaded "viral video," can lead to great success (author Graham Robertson co-wrote and directed the hugely popular online spoof Superfriends Wassup!), Robertson's Desktop Cinema: Feature Filmmaking on a Home Computer is exactly the kind of user-friendly moviemaking guide that most directors strive to write (and read), yet rarely do.
The book is a pleasure to read and packed with all sorts of useful information (you never notice just how much you've actually learned until you've moved on to the next chapter).
Written from the perspective of someone who knows what it's like to struggle as an independent moviemaker, it's therefore chock-full of do-it-yourself tips and a handy CD-ROM that includes the first 17 minutes of Robertson's all-digital, sci-fi feature, Able Edwards, as well as storyboard templates and other forms that will definitely come in handy in your own moviemaking endeavors.

I really enjoyed improving my lessons by using this book.

Advice from an online Masters Education graduate:

Anyone can be a successfull online student but there are a couple of things that the person must have in order for him or her to be successful in the subject courses that he or she will be taking at any of the online schools that exist in this great nation(USA).

1. You must have a great relationship with your computer. Know your computer like the back of your hand. Know how it works, of how it operates and make sure you have the necessary programs installed in it so it can make your online class experience more smooth. Many of the programs can be downloaded at the online school website, or for free at the internet(if you look for them on particular websites). The school that i went to required one to have Java.

2. Know APA Citation. This is very important especially for students who are majoring in Education but it seems that APA Citation is more important or seen very highly by more teachers at many of the online schools than MLA. Many teachers get technical with one (the student)if one does not know APA very well. So please learn it. In the end you will see that APA is better than MLA. It is faster to memorize.

3. Always be a team player, believe in Synergy. Online is no place for solo runners. Because you will always be working in groups for the most part.

4. Buy used books if you are on a tight budget. It really helps.

5. Always keep in touch with your advisors (at the school that you are in), either through email, telephone or both, and especially with your teacher. You need to know your progress.

6. Always use [...].Many online schools have[...]as a service. They have great tutors who are very knowledgeable in many fields. For example, English, math, Spanish, Calculus, and Government.

7. Always be positive because some classes are lonely so get the drive to strive ahead. Think about puppies, or your girlfriend, or of special memories of people you have helped back then(e.g., the elderly, your mom, or kids at school)..which will motivate you to do good in the class you are in. See the higher goal...that you want to make a difference in this world that you are in. Be a change agent.

8. Never post your photograph in the course room even if you think and are an attractive person(e.g., an attractive russian lady or an ex model of the past). Online education regardless of what people think does have social prejudice and so looks or non looks may do you in(in failing the class). The most important key is the knowledge that you will be submitting in the course room as well as the information you will be sending to your professor via email.... No one needs to know how you look like. The less they know about you or anyone else reading this the more you are in control.

9. Have alot of patience in everything you do online, and have patience when you type because the answers you give in the course room will be long. How do you say? Love the keyboard.

10.If you like talking, then learn to love the keyboard as well. The keyboard will be your mouth/pen in the cyber world. *Another benefit is that you will get more typing experience. Always give good answers. Remember you are paying alot of money to be online so make every answer count. Never give clown answers (baseless answers).

11. This is very important, but make sure your school is accredited. If your school is not accredited then your degree is worthless. You may have a hard time finding employment.

12. You will spend alot of time on your computer. The machine will be your new friend, so get to know it well. In case you work and travel-you may use the computers at the printer places or use the public library computers in case of emergencies-when you need to send that RTF or DOC Attachment paper to your online professor.

You can be a successful online student. Just be positive, always, as well as work hard. Never doubt yourself because at times no one will believe in you. It helps one to Pray. I Prayed and it helped me move beyond, and great thing i succeeded.

The benefits outweigh the disadvantages but online is worth it. But just becareful...follow the steps, and you will be okay.

This is a superior terminology textbook. It includes flash cards, crossword puzzles, and quick quizes to help you retain what you've learned.

Furthermore, it builds language skills in a logical manner, so what you learned yesterday will form the basis for remembering today's lesson.

It's good - really good.

First: Mona is an awesome facilitator. If all online faciltators would take cue from Mona, their classes would be much more successful! (I am a seasoned online learner so I can judge this fact.)
Second: In the future, when I become an online facilitator, Mona's insights will be the ones I take to heart and apply to my own online classroom.
Third: Mona has a wealth of experience to draw from. Therefore, her intuition is based on tried and true means of helping adults learn in an intensse environment that can leave the student behind quickly.
Thanks Mona!!!

Without this book and practice CD you may, and I emphasize may, pass the postal exam, but you will not score high enough to be called in for an interview within your lifetime. The exam requires quick retrieval of memorized information, all rigorously timed. If you don't know what to expect on the exam, and you haven't learned the memorizing strategies taught in this book, you are probably wasting your time. By using the strategies taught within I easily passed the exam with a good score. I also know of others who went into the test cold and failed, one of whom walked out in the middle, frustrated. I presently work for the post office and after talking to the recently hired about their scores have seen that you need a score in the 90s to have a chance, at least in this neck of the woods. Get this book and practice, practice, practice.

The books title is true. If you don't have alot time to learn Access, this small book will give you a crash course that still manages to teach some of the most important topics. I have looked at and used other books and this is the best short course I've seen.
