B. Be able to communicate through writing

D. Accept critical thinking as part of online learning

E. Be open-minded about sharing experiences

F. Be willing to “speak up” if problems arise

Online students require unique qualities to be successful. The following list discusses some ideal qualities of successful online students.

81.

Many different people find that the online method required them to use their experiences and that online learning offers them a place to communicate with each other. This forum for communication removes the visual barriers that hinder some students from expressing themselves. In addition, students are given time to reflect on the information before replying. In this way, students can help to keep the online environment open and friendly.

82.

In the virtual classroom nearly all communication is written, so it is critical that students feel comfortable expressing themselves in writing. Some students have limited writing abilities which need to be improved before or as part of the online experience. This usually requires extra commitment by these students.

83.

Remember that instructors cannot see their students in an online course. This means students must be absolutely explicit with their comments and requests. If they experience technical difficulties, or problems in understanding something about the course, they must let the instructors or other online students know; otherwise there is no way anyone can know something is wrong.

84.

Online learning is not easier than study in regular classrooms. In fact, many students say it requires much more time and effort. Requirements for online courses are not less than those of any quality program. Successful students, however, see online learning as a convenient way to receive their education—not an easier way. Many online students sit at computers for hours at a time during evenings and on weekends in order to complete their assignments.

85.

Online learning is normally arranged in the time sequence and requires devotion on the students’ part. Strictly following each step and completing all work on time is vital. Once students get behind, it is almost impossible to catch up. Students need to want to be there and need to want the experience. The instructor may have to communicate with students personally to offer help and remind them of the need to keep up.

     In the United States, there are growing calls to do more to help young people learn skills in financial
education. Some efforts begin in high school. But more and more information is available on the Internet,
not only for young people but also for adults. The goal is to teach about saving, investing (投资) and using
money.
     The United States Financial Literacy and Education Commission was established in 2003. This
government group takes charge of financial education efforts through nineteen federal agencies. Information
on financial education can be found at its Web site. The address is MyMoney.gov. It includes links to
agencies that deal with banking, buying a home, investing and other areas.
     The National Council on Economic Education has found that seventeen states now require high school
students to take a class in economics. This number has grown from thirteen in 1998. As of three years ago,
half of all states required students to take a class in personal finance. Yet that number has fallen, from
twenty-five to twenty-two. The National Council on Economic Education sells textbooks for grades four
through twelve. It also offers free materials for teachers. The information is available at ncee.net.
     Teachers say parents also need to play a larger part in educating their children about money. A recent
study found that seventy percent of college students said they received financial advice mainly from their
parents. Investment companies also offer information. Charles Schwab, for example, has a Web site to help
parents teach their kids about money and investing. The address is SchwabMoneyWise.com.
     One of the first tastes of financial independence that many young people get is through summer jobs.
Junior Achievement is an organization that teaches young people about finance and business. It says almost
three-fourths of young people questioned said they planned to have a summer job.

1. If you want to get some financial information you can visit ______.

A. SchwabMoneWise.com

D. MyMoney.gov

2. The third paragraph is mainly to tell us that ______.

A. all states asked students to learn economics

D. textbooks on economics sell well in America

3. Who is most likely to teach children about money?
