You’ve also seen it before. That writer who sends an essay where a couple lines will do. That writer who’s emails resemble short novellas. You probably know one. If you are reading this article, you may well be one. I’m going to let you in on a little secret: I am one.

While it’s impossible to tell with complete certainty which students will or will not succeed, it is quite possible to identify early on, the factors that will lead a student to be successful or unsuccessful in the online world.
