5 Tips On Studying For Exams

Tue, 27 Feb 2007 00:00:00 -0500

One element that both online education and traditional education share is test-taking. You still have to pass tests, whether it be in a classroom or on your computer, in order for you to pass the course and be that much closer to earning your degree. Here are 5 tips on how to study for tests so you can improve your performance on them: 1. Take frequent short breaks. It's been shown that your memory will remember more at the beginning and at the end of your study sessions than it will in the middle of those sections. Therefore, it makes sense to keep your study periods to a short time frame, say 20-30 minutes at most, take a 5-minute break, then come back and study another 20-30 minutes. This way, your mind will be sharper and you'll be more focused on what you're studying. 2. Space out your studying so that your long-term memory retains it. Another reason to not wait until the night before the exam to study is because the information will stay in your long-term memory. **End Summary** Topics: exam tips]]> tips online education exam]]> study exam]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Bryan Wong is the owner of www.OneStopEducationSearch.com, a website that provides you a unique one-stop-search-service and high quality articles.

The Importance Of The CLEP Exam And How To Register

Mon, 26 Feb 2007 00:00:00 -0500

When choosing to return to school after a long time away from being in a classroom setting, you want to only spend as much time in the classroom as is necessary to further your degree or earn a new one. That is why the CLEP Exam is so important for non-traditional students: These exams give you the chance to demonstrate your knowledge and earn college credit without entering a classroom. In essence, they can already give you some of the credit hours you need to earn that degree, eliminating some of the courses you would need to take to earn that degree, thereby cutting down on the time you need to be in the classroom to earn that degree. This is extremely beneficial for non-traditional students, who usually hold full-time occupations and may even have families, including children, they are responsible for. Time is especially of the essence for them, as they need to earn those advanced degrees as quickly as possible so they can provide a better life for their families that much quicker. It's also nice to know that some of your work experience can count as college credit toward that advanced degree. **End Summary** Topics: exam]]> why CLEP exam]]> need for CLEP exam]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Bryan Wong is the owner of www.OneStopEducationSearch.com, a website that provides you a unique one-stop-search-service and high quality articles.

The Biggest Problems With Online Degrees

Thu, 22 Feb 2007 00:00:00 -0500

A current main concern about online degrees is whether an online degree from an accredited college or university is seen by potential employers as a lesser degree than one that is earned in the traditional classroom. Certain professions, such as entry-level MBAs, still consider online graduates as second-tier to traditional classroom graduates because the ones doing the hiring all obtained their degrees from traditional schools and have questions and concerns about the quality of online degrees. Graduates from the first Internet law school, Concord Law School, will likely have fewer options to practice law because the American Bar Association will not accredit the university. As a result, those graduates will only be able to practice law in those states that don't require lawyers to earn degrees from an ABA-approved law school. There are some professions, like information technology fields, that tend to value online degrees more highly because of the nature of the work itself. However, a career network website, did a survey of 239 human resources professionals and found that they tend to put more value on degrees from established universities like Duke or Stanford than from virtual universities like the University of Phoenix. **End Summary** Topics: problems online degrees]]> problems online education]]> problems online study]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Bryan Wong is the owner of www.OneStopEducationSearch.com, a website that provides you a unique one-stop-search-service and high quality articles.

Tips On Studying For A Test Part 1

Thu, 22 Feb 2007 00:00:00 -0500

One element that both online education and traditional education share is test-taking. You still have to pass tests, whether it be in a classroom or on your computer, in order for you to pass the course and be that much closer to earning your degree. Here are 5 tips on how to study for tests so you can improve your performance on them: 1. Review the material right after class. After you are finishing reading the material online, turn away from your computer and write out some of the ideas you've learned on a piece of paper - this way, you will refocus your mind on what you have learned, plus you will find out what parts of the material did not stay with you that you will need to refocus on. 2. Space out your studying; don't wait until the night before the test to do all your studying. Just like in traditional studying, it is better whenever possible to space out your studying - trying to cram for a test the night before can lead to more anxiety and stress than is necessary. **End Summary** Topics: exam tips]]> tips online education exam]]> study exam]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Bryan Wong is the owner of www.OneStopEducationSearch.com, a website that provides you a unique one-stop-search-service and high quality articles.

The Cost of an Online Degree

Thu, 22 Feb 2007 00:00:00 -0500

The cost of a college education is never considered cheap, no matter if you attend offline or online. However, online courses can be more expensive than their offline counterparts at times, as universities try to make up for the missed opportunity costs of parking on campus, room-and-board, textbooks, etc. Also, the level of your courses, whether it be for a bachelor's, master's, or doctoral degree will also determine the cost of the courses you take. The choice of university where you choose to attend online classes can also affect the cost of your education. Online courses will sometimes be more expensive at universities that have better or more prestigious reputations than those that are not as well-known or well-recognized because employers look more favourably upon those graduates who have completed their degrees at universities that are more well-known or have more prestige. Because of this, your current employer may be willing to reimburse you for all or part of your tuition, especially if the courses relate to your current occupational field and if you plan on staying at your current place of employment. **End Summary** Topics: cost online education]]> cost online degree]]> cost online college education]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Bryan Wong is the owner of www.OneStopEducationSearch.com, a website that provides you a unique one-stop-search-service and high quality articles.

Tests You Need To Take For An Online Education

Thu, 22 Feb 2007 00:00:00 -0500

When pursuing an online degree, you likely want to complete it as quickly as possible, being that you have other demands and responsibilities in your life, including providing an income for yourself at least, if not also for your family. One way to speed up the process of earning your online degree is by taking equivalency tests. These tests allow you to complete your online degree efficiently and affordably. They will require some studying, but many colleges will grant credit and/or advanced standing for successful completion of equivalency exams. The three most common equivalency tests are the following tests: 1. The College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) - This test provides students of any age with the opportunity to demonstrate college-level achievement through a program of exams in undergraduate college courses. You can gain college credit for what you already know via independent study, noncredit adult courses, and/or professional development. You can save considerable money as the CLEP costs just $60, much less than hundreds or thousands for an online course. If you're just a few credits short of earning that degree, CLEPs could make all the difference in obtaining that degree. CLEPs are available in 34 college-level introductory subjects. **End Summary** Topics: online education test]]> test for online education]]> online education]]> education test]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Bryan Wong is the owner of www.OneStopEducationSearch.com, a website that provides you a unique one-stop-search-service and high quality articles.

5 Reasons Why People Fail Online Education

Tue, 20 Feb 2007 00:00:00 -0500

Online education is becoming a more popular way to get one's degree today because it is more convenient to earn one's degree from the comfort of his/her own home and at one's own pace. The fast-paced lifestyle of today makes it more difficult for working adults, especially those with families, to take time out of their busy schedules and go to traditional classrooms on university campuses in order to obtain or upgrade their degrees. However, online education is not the same as offline education in terms of how the classes are structured and how the material is taught. There are many reasons why people fail online education: 1. The person is not used to working in an online classroom setting. An online classroom is considerably different from a traditional classroom. There are rarely textbooks; most course material is presented online on web-pages, in downloadable reports, and in video and audio lectures. In addition, you don't sit in a traditional classroom with other people sitting next to you, behind you, or in front of you. Instead, they are on their computers at home or elsewhere, looking at the same course material you are, so you have no direct contact with them. **End Summary** Topics: reasons to fail online education]]> fail online education]]> fail education]]> fail online degree]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Bryan Wong is the owner of www.OneStopEducationSearch.com, a website that provides you a unique one-stop-search-service and high quality articles.

Two Main Concerns Associated With Online Degrees

Tue, 20 Feb 2007 00:00:00 -0500

In today's world, the number of graduates who are earning online degrees is skyrocketing. However, there are many concerns related to online degrees. One main concern is whether the online university is actually certified, authorized, and/or accredited to award degrees to students. Some schools do not meet these requirements. There are also several levels of fraud found in some educational programs and "schools." These can range from using the student's work history as the "learning" period that earned the degree to simply selling diplomas. Degrees-R-Us is one such example, promising bachelor's, master's, or doctoral degrees in about 10 days, and are willing to show one graduated with honors for a higher "tuition fee." Some states like Oregon, Iowa, and South Dakota are starting to crack down on these types of schools within their borders. To protect yourself, you should check to see what kind of accreditation the school you are considering enrolling in has, or claims to have. Being "licensed by the state" isn't an accreditation and may not mean anything at all. **End Summary** Topics: problems online education]]> problems online schools]]> problems online study]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Bryan Wong is the owner of www.OneStopEducationSearch.com, a website that provides you a unique one-stop-search-service and high quality articles.

Why Your Computer Skills Determine The Success Of Your Online

Tue, 20 Feb 2007 00:00:00 -0500

Many busy adults take online courses to make it more convenient for them to upgrade their degrees or earn degrees in new fields. However, to take advantage of this, one must be confident enough in his/her computer skills in order to be able to complete the online courses and earn one's degree online. For some, especially those who work on computers in their current occupations, that likely isn't a problem, as they will likely already have experience with programs they will use in their online courses. On the other hand, those who don't use computers much or at all in their current occupations, may have a steeper learning curve in regards to working with the software that is necessary to successfully pass online courses. People wishing to pursue a degree via online education should be familiar with word processing software like Microsoft Word, spreadsheet software like Microsoft Excel, and presentation software like Microsoft PowerPoint, since it is possible you will have to create documents, spreadsheets, and/or presentations that you will need to send to your professor via email or have to upload to a site from which your professor will download it. **End Summary** Topics: online education]]> online education computer skills]]> software online education]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Bryan Wong is the owner of www.OneStopEducationSearch.com, a website that provides you a unique one-stop-search-service and high quality articles.

How Not To Be Lonely When Studying Online

Thu, 21 Dec 2006 00:00:00 -0500

You've decided that taking some online courses will be the most convenient way for you to earn that degree you've been seeking. However, you soon come to realize that studying online is a bit different than the traditional classroom in the sense that you do not have personal contact with anyone and cannot just "talk" with them directly. Therefore, it can get quite lonely when you're attempting to complete online courses, since you will be working alone for the most part, reading the material, logging on and commenting about different topics that are posted, and completing the assignments and tests assigned to you. However, there are some steps you can take to make the online classroom experience a little more socially friendly. First, try to connect with the other students who are taking the online course with you. You can join them on the message board and discuss the topics being discussed in the online course, as well as assist them if they have problems with the assignment. They may do the same for you when you have difficulty with an assignment as well. Second, see if any of your fellow classmates live near you; **End Summary** Topics: lonely online study]]> lonely online education]]> online study]]> online education]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Bryan Wong is the owner of www.OneStopEducationSearch.com, a website that provides you a unique one-stop-search-service and high quality articles.

How To Get To The Top With Education And Stay There

Thu, 21 Dec 2006 00:00:00 -0500

Education is the key to obtaining a good-paying, well- respected position; that is why it is encouraged for high school students to go to college, study hard, and apply themselves - this will give them the best chance to be successful in life. Studies show that college graduates now earn nearly twice as much as what high school graduates earn. More opportunities open up for college graduates as well because college coursework requires independent thinking, research, and analysis in order to graduate, skills that employers look for in their prospective employees. That is why it's important to at least earn a bachelor's degree in your field of study as soon as possible in your life. If you earn a master's or doctoral degree, you will likely have more career opportunities and positions to consider, as well as be able to earn more. **End Summary** Topics: online education]]> online study]]> top online education]]> top online study]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Bryan Wong is the owner of www.OneStopEducationSearch.com, a website that provides you a unique one-stop-search-service and high quality articles.

Once you decide on the institution you are going to attend, you need to decide whether you will attend online courses, traditional classrooms, or a combination of both. While those who attend traditional classrooms will need many of these supplies as well, this article will focus mostly on what the student who takes online courses needs. You're going to need money for all of the following in order to be able to take online courses. Some of these you may already have, but for the rest that you don't have, you'll need to invest in them. 1. The online course and the materials you will need in them. 2. A computer. A laptop may be advantageous for you if you need to access your courses on the go, such as at work or in a study group.

Online Versus Campus Studies

Sun, 17 Dec 2006 00:00:00 -0500

Whether you obtain your degree on campus or online, studying is a major prerequisite to earning that degree. However, studying for a traditional class and for an online class will involve different tactics and techniques due to the different ways the classes are conducted. Traditional classrooms involve you attending class at predetermined times at least once a week, sometimes more. You participate in verbal discussions about the material you read with your professor and classmates, you directly listen to lectures from the professor and take notes on it, you have physical textbooks you take with you to class, you hand in your assignments directly to the professor, and you take the tests and quizzes expected of you when the professor decides to give them to you. **End Summary** Topics: Online Versus Campus Studies]]> differences Online and Campus Studies]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Bryan Wong is the owner of www.OneStopEducationSearch.com, a website that provides you a unique one-stop-search-service and high quality articles.

How To Finance Your Study

You've decided to go back to college to get your degree - that's great, as more career opportunities will likely open up for you, as well as being able to earn more money. However, to get that degree, you're going to have to spend some considerable money in order to be able to take the courses you need to take and complete. First, you need to determine how much the courses and supplies you need to take the courses (such as your computer, Internet connection, printer, etc.) will cost, then you need to see how much of it you can afford to pay out-of-pocket. Obviously, the more you can pay yourself, the better, as you want to try to avoid taking out loans to pay for this as much as possible, since you will need to pay that money back or risk ruining your financial credit history. With other cost-of-living expenses you likely have in your life now, adding another one would only be as a last resort, not as a first option. **End Summary** Topics: financing study]]> financing online study]]> financing eduction]]> financing online education]]> ]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Bryan Wong is the owner of www.OneStopEducationSearch.com, a website that provides you a unique one-stop-search-service and high quality articles.

What Makes a Successful Education Path

Fri, 15 Dec 2006 00:00:00 -0500

Most experts will tell you that if you do something you enjoy, the better you will be at it and the less it will feel like work, which will encourage you to continue doing your best at it. If you are currently in an occupation that you loathe, chances are, you won't want to spend the rest of your working career doing it, as both your mental health and your physical performance will suffer because you'll just be going through the motions, which will likely lead to you faltering in your work, which will probably lead to your dismissal, so it is advisable for you to find an occupation that you will truly enjoy doing for the next 30-40 years of your life. The key to finding your perfect occupation is finding out what your interests are. To do that, you should examine your hobbies, what you do in your spare time, what you like to do for fun, etc. Talking with friends could help you find out what you are really passionate about. **End Summary** Topics: successful education]]> successfull study]]> online education]]> online study]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Bryan Wong is the owner of www.OneStopEducationSearch.com, a website that provides you a unique one-stop-search-service and high quality articles.

Differences Between Online and Campus Study

Fri, 15 Dec 2006 00:00:00 -0500

With the advent of the Internet, it's much easier to obtain your college degree today than it was just 10 years ago. Not only can you research accredited institutions via the Internet, many of those institutions will offer online courses you can use to obtain your degree as well. Some institutions, like the University of Phoenix Online, allow you to earn your degree entirely from online courses. This is extremely beneficial for working adults and adults who have families, since neither group can take up full-time student status with their busy lifestyles. Plus, it's unlikely they can go to the campus 4-5 times a week for classes like they could when they left high school, due to work and parental commitments. However, before you decide to take online courses toward your degree, realize that the learning environment will be considerably different from a traditional classroom. First, you will have to do most of the coursework by yourself; there will only be limited contact with your online classmates via message boards, instant messaging, and email. There won't be any physical, social contact unless you meet your online classmates in person in a study group. **End Summary** Topics: differences campus online studies]]> differences online studies campus]]> campus versus online education]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Bryan Wong is the owner of www.OneStopEducationSearch.com, a website that provides you a unique one-stop-search-service and high quality articles.

3 Good Reasons For Educating Yourself

Wed, 13 Dec 2006 00:00:00 -0500

In today's world, education is everything. In fact, according to the Democratic Leadership Council, college graduates make nearly twice what high school graduates make, so there is an obvious correlation between how much education you have and how much you will make. Therefore, making more money than your current salary is one important reason why you should really consider returning to school, especially if you don't have a college degree yet. Making more money means enjoying a better lifestyle, which is what essentially everyone wants. It may not take you all that long to increase your degree; alumni of the University of Phoenix claim to have completed their Master's Degrees in about 12-15 months, despite their busy schedules. There are other reasons besides money why one should consider returning to school, including providing more opportunities for you in your current career. The more education you have, the more you will be recognized as an expert in your field. This can open up more avenues of advancement for you, leading to new opportunities, especially in terms of leadership, such as a manager or even a partner in the company you work for. **End Summary** Topics: online study]]> online education]]> reasons for online study]]> reasons for online education]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Bryan Wong is the owner of www.OneStopEducationSearch.com, a website that provides you a unique one-stop-search-service and high quality articles.

What's Next After Earning Your Degree?

Wed, 13 Dec 2006 00:00:00 -0500

Well, you are closing in on that degree you've been working towards for the past several months. However, things are getting a bit hectic now because you are excited, yet nervous, over what lies ahead. The big decision one needs to make is whether you want to continue your education and get a master's or even a doctoral degree right away or to hold off on it until later in your life.
