Students need to engage with the course, which means not only engaging with the course materials and the course concepts, but engaging with their tutors; engaging with their fellow students. And they also need to plan ahead.
The most important role the tutor has is to give you feedback on how you’re doing on the course.
Collaborative learning is very important for student success.
