Praise and Reviews

“Your Online Course Survival Guide gets down to the nitty-gritty of making online education work for you. Jacqueline Myers of Nitty-Gritty English knows her stuff--she has created a guide based on long experience and includes several anecdotes from student experiences gone wrong, as well as laying out clear and supportive advice for making the best of online classes. My favorite feature is the "Success Strategies: Action Tips" that summarize each chapter in quick, bite-sized lists that both serve as reminders and put the student in the action seat to make the most of their educational outcomes. If you're riding this wave of online education, it's a good idea to get it right--check out this guide and get back to your studies!”

“Your Online College Course Survival Guide is a fantastic resource for anyone taking online classes, regardless of whether you are a veteran student or a brand new freshman! As a student, I have taken my fair share of online courses, and I must say that the difference between the traditional classroom setting and an online classroom can be beyond overwhelming.
