When you take an online class, you are going to, without a doubt, be asked to submit assignments. Since the course is online, more than likely your instructor will provide you with a place to submit your assignments, such as through the Assignments 2 link.

absence of their instructor and classmates.All of your communicating will be done by typing on your keyboard, so you need to be especially aware of what you say (type) and how you say it, which includes discussion boards and email.
Tests
Taking tests online is a bit different from taking a test in the classroom. Here is some information to prepare you for that change.

You need to realize that taking an exam online is not an open invitation to be, well, sneaky and unethical. Instructors are smart people and will be quick to recognize cheating. Granted, they are not there to watch you take the exam, but you will take a risk if you decide to be dishonest about how the exam is taken.
Being a good time manager will make or break your success in an online course. It is so easy to ‘forget’ about your course if you are not required to be in any one location at any time during the week. However, if you are someone who is busy, or who is frequently distracted from schoolwork by other obligations or social situations, then you need to learn how to manage your time.
Online courses require time. Usually you’ll have at least one assignment and one activity to do per week. Sometimes you will have discussion responses due by mid week. What that means is that you need to schedule time for your online class just like you would if you had to be in an on campus class.
