‘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.

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.

“Classes and services will

all student email that went out
on Friday, April 3.
There is free wifi outside

maintain social distancing and
