Overdue Assignment - Weekly Planner
Online classes are great because of the flexibility and convenience. You can study anytime and anywhere! For these same reasons, they can also be challenging since there isn't a teacher pushing you to get online or a specific time when you have to be at campus. That's why time management and planning are so important!
This assignment is required for all new eLearn students and will help you build a weekly planner where you choose specific times to dedicate each week to online studies!

(It was due by 9pm on Monday, July 20th)
What Should I Study On Khan?
Khan Academy is AWESOME! But it can also be overwhelming since there are so many courses to choose from!
First, remember that Khan is always getting to know you. So as you work on problems, make mistakes and figure things out, the website will continue to adapt with a custom course designed just for you!
Second, remember that the HISET math section covers a few specific subjects. So you want to make sure that you are taking the right courses. Check out this image for an overview of the courses covered on the HiSET, and therefore the only ones you should work on!
And a few more tips for being successful on Khan:
Always sign-in with the same Google account - this is how the website tracks you and how you earn eLearn hours!
Use a calculator as much as possible! Since you can use a calculator on the HISET, it's good to practice with it now as a way to save time and make fewer mistakes. It's not cheating; it's being being resourcesful!
What do you do when you get stuck? Remember, being successful in an online course means knowing how to access support when you need it, so be sure to use the hints and videos. You can also use YouTube and Google as needed to help you answer questions!
Stick with it! If you were trying to learn Japanese or Chinese, you would accept that it takes time, practice, and hard work. Math is a new language too! So be patient, work hard, and keep at it!
