What advice would you give to a student in their first semester of an online program?
Dr. Keefer: Do not hesitate to ask the instructor questions if you need clarification. If you are unsure about a task, it is likely other students in the course are as well. Instructors are humans, and we make mistakes all the time. If you don't tell us, we can't fix it!
