While our approach to flexible, self-paced learning empowers students, it certainly doesn’t mean they’re left to navigate it alone! Our dedicated teachers actively monitor attendance patterns and progress. If a student shows signs of struggling or irregular engagement, our teachers, in collaboration with parents or guardians, step in to provide additional support. To ensure no student falls behind, our student success team reaches out via email after every 30 days of inactivity, offering gentle reminders and personalized assistance. Moreover, our success advisors are readily available for one-on-one consultations, crafting tailored study plans that accommodate individual paces and schedules. Alternatively, students can refer to our tips for creating their study plans below!
While Canadian World Schools (CWS) provides up to a year of access to each course, we’ve observed that students excel when they maintain a consistent pace. To assist you in managing your time effectively, our Student Success team has compiled some useful tips and benchmarks:
- Establish Your Target Completion Date: Consider when you aim or need to finish the course. Set your target completion date a week earlier to allow for a cushion and processing time.
- Create a Course Outline: Refer to your course outline to list the required materials and assignments. Note the number of lessons in each unit and any graded assignments.
- Assess Your Available Study Time: Reflect on how much time you can dedicate to studying each week realistically. Aim for consistency rather than setting overly ambitious goals.
- Allocate Time for Lessons: Budget approximately 1.5 hours per lesson, including watching the lesson, reading materials, note-taking, and completing homework questions. Adjust based on your learning style and familiarity with the course material.
- Approach Homework Strategically: At CWS, homework is optional and intended to reinforce understanding. Complete as much as needed for comprehension, utilizing provided solutions for self-checking. Reach out to your teacher for assistance when encountering difficulties.
- Prepare for Tests: Dedicate at least three days to review key concepts before a unit test. Utilize practice tests available in the course resources for optimal preparation. Allocate a quiet, uninterrupted 3-hour period for test-taking.
- Final Exam Preparation: Allow a minimum of one week for the comprehensive review, including notes, previous tests, and lesson re-watching for areas needing reinforcement. Utilize practice exams from the course resources to gauge readiness.
For academic or pathway inquiries, our Guidance Counsellors are available to assist you. Stay on track and maximize your success with a well-designed study schedule tailored to your needs and pace!
