APRIL 10, 2020, KEIZERTIMES, PAGE A7 ‘Business as usual’ tactics help students succeed in online school By LAUREN MURPHY Of the Keizertimes Finding a quiet place to study on campus is no longer an option. Gone are the days of settling down in a nook of the sprawling school cam- pus to read the most expensive book you’ve ever hated. In- stead students are faced with the task of fi nding a way to study, go to class and take tests all from home. While this is a new and uncertain time for all of us, there are cer- tain things that can help us be more success- ful. Designate a certain space, that is not your bed, to be your “work-zone.” Similar to studying on cam- pus, picking a physical space to go to while you’re doing school work can help focus your mind. Change out of your paja- mas, even if you’re not having a video meeting. As com- fortable as going to school in pajamas may seem, it makes it diffi cult to focus. By get- ting dressed you help your brain distin- guish between mindlessly surfi ng the in- ternet and go- ing to class. It also gives you a chance to wash your pajamas. In addition to creating a physical space, make a calen- dar. Schedule out what days and times you are going to do your school work. Getting organized will lessen the chances of any as- signments or meetings falling It is possible to stay up until three in the morning, get nine hours of sleep and then do school in the evening, but it is not benefi cial in the long run. through the cracks. It will also help your family/roommates know when you’re “at school” and when you’re actually home. Though most colleges and universities have moved their spring terms entirely on- line, maintain a normal sleep schedule. It is possible to stay up until three in the morning, get nine hours of sleep and then do school in the evening, but it is not benefi cial in the long run. Sleeping on the same schedule you used to will not only prep you for reentry to society, but also increase the chances of your professors emailing you back quicker than they would at midnight. The hardest thing to do in order to be successful at distance learning is to talk to your family or roommates. Explain to them where and when you plan on doing school work and ask them politely to respect your school time as if you were actual- ly out of the house and on campus. If needed, create a SAIF stand up assistance fund Oregon’s worker compensa- tion insurance company is cre- ating a $10 million coronavirus worker safety fund to limit the exposure some businesses are feeling as a result of the pan- demic. The fund, established by SAIF, is designed to support employee safety, reduce inju- ries, and decrease exposures by helping businesses impacted by the coronavirus. More than 53,000 SAIF policyholders across the state are eligible for funds. The fund will help business- es pay for expenses tied to mak- ing workplaces safer against the virus and dealing with the im- pact of the pandemic on work- ers. Eligible expenses could include worksite cleaning and disinfection supplies; resources to reopen businesses safely after a coronavirus-related closure; resources to redesign or modify workspaces to encourage social distancing; and mental health and wellness initiatives. Expenses incurred on or after March 1 will be consid- ered. The application, along with additional details about the fund, can be found at saif. com/safetyfund. SAIF will ac- cept submissions until all funds have been expended or until the fund is no longer needed. physical sign to let them know when you are working. Communicate with your professors. Most of them are understanding of problems that are arising in light of COVID-19 because they are living through the pandemic, too. Take care of your basic needs. Sleep, drink water, eat regularly and spend time rest- ing. College students tend to pack their schedules full be- tween class, work and home- work, not to mention social activities. Use this time of self Chemeketa offers help as distance learning becomes the norm Amid the social distancing efforts to help curb the spread of COVID-19, colleges na- tion-wide are switching to dis- tance learning. Students who once met in a classroom now fi nd themselves needing to navigate online resources and tools from their own homes. Chemeketa Community College has created a remote learning hub for students to help them be successful in their classes. The hub has informa- tion about remote learning and links to resources and services for students. Under the information tab, students can fi nd answers to questions on topics such as: how to access courses; how class attendance is managed, testing plans, a brief overview of how to use Zoom – an app that lets students attend class meetings virtually – and more. This part of the hub also of- fers a remote learning checklist to help students prepare for the beginning of the term. Courses can be accessed through eLearn. Students can log in with their My Cheme- keta username and password. Zoom meetings and assign- ment deadlines are up to the discretion of instructors, the hub advises reading the sylla- bus and checking in with in- dividual instructors to see what it expected. Zoom meetings should be, if at all, held on the same dates and times classes would’ve been held on campus. Students are also advised to email their professors about testing procedures. The second part of the hub offers services and resources for students. Textbooks and course material can be bought online with free shipping, there are no in-person purchasing options for this term. Here, students can fi nd in- formation about how/when to access the writing center, stu- dent retention and life, coun- seling services and academic advising.
