The Learning Mindset
As the University continues its celebration of 25 years of offering fully online degree and certificate programs, we asked some of our current online students to share how their views of learning have changed and evolved since beginning their online studies. Learning online does come with its own unique challenges, but it is also an opportunity to grow; a chance to look at learning from a new viewpoint. Here’s what some of our Eagles had to share.
I didn’t think I was capable of going to college as a high schooler. I had terribly bad grades and was more into cheerleader. Taking these online classes has given me confidence, time management, a better speaker, and a better writer, and I am proud of myself as the great grades make me want to do more.
Taking classes online has helped me gain better time management skills and taking classes online is also really helpful for me it’s my preferred way of learning.
My mindset has changed since I started Post University. I learned so much and how to manage time trying to do as much as possible each day.
My mindset changed and evolved when I started online classes. I am a better person now!! I am positive and have time management skills for my classes.
