Set up a study environment and find the most productive manner to focus: Try to
recreate your favorite study space and make it comfortable for yourself. Pay attention to

ergonomics. Studying in uncomfortable positions while watching Netflix at the same time will
not help you focus. To study, choose a place that is free from distractions. If you are

accustomed to working with peers, try to set up conference calls or phone-based study

sessions with your friends (individually or in a group).

The materials that you will need in your room:

A reliable computer and internet access

You’ll need a reliable computer that operates at a good speed and is able to handle a variety of
different programs. This doesn’t mean you have to splurge on the latest and most expensive

model, but you should be able to work with minimal issues. Your internet should also be
reasonably fast and reliable, and it’s not a bad idea to come up with a few backup options for

getting online if your primary connection is having issues.

A comfortable chair
Unlike in a traditional college setting where students tend to move from one classroom to

another, you may find yourself sitting in one spot for a while as you engage in online learning.
With this in mind, you should have a comfortable chair that you can adjust to the right level to

see your computer easily.

A separate workspace
