Each online course is different and will be handled by different tutors whose expectations may vary. Therefore, it is wrong to assume that past experiences with a given tutor will be the same with other instructors. It is important to contact the facilitator early enough so as to establish the course requirements and expectations. Equip yourself with any special instruction that they might have to ensure that you will have a smooth time studying and submitting the assignments. You should also do your independent research since the tutor might not be always there for you.
