Each online course is different and will be handled by different tutors, whose expectations vary. It is wrong to assume that past experience with a given tutor will be the same with other instructors. It is important therefore 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 cooperating in the course and submitting the assignments. You should also do your independent research since the tutor might not be always there for you.
