During your online class turn off the other devices in your home that are connected to the internet.
Connect your computer to the modem using a direct connection cord (such as a LAN or ethernet cord). Make sure the devices you are using are fully charged.
Restart your computer or tablet before class. Close any programs running in the background that rely on the internet.
Before class, contact your instructor to remind students to turn off their video and audio.
Ask the instructor to record each live online class if there are technical issues. If there were technical issues on your end, ask the DS office to provide a transcript, a captioned copy of the recording, or have an interpreter record/translate the recorded lecture to make up information you may have missed.
