Over the course of the three months that I was continuously working on my GPS assignment, I eventually came to the realization that managing the time it took to do the tasks required for the assignment, while balancing my other course was much more tedious than I previously imagined. I would subconsciously give more attention to my other course work above the GPS assignment since the due date was further away.
Not only was that one of the issues I faced while completing the GPS, I also had to find time to even participate in the events. Normally after my last course finishes, I drive directly home due to me having obligations at home with my family. Because I compensated, it made me complete the GPS much more time consuming due to me having to stretch out which events I had time to attend.

To be specific, the resource that I believe I benefited from the most was undoubtedly the writing center. At first, I was hesitant to go because I have the confidence that I am a good writer, but alas I decided to go regardless. And although I had very few superficial mistakes in my essays, having someone to sit down and talk me through what I am writing and guild me to a better direction if needed was incredibly helpful and rewarding.
In the end, I developed a good group of acquaintances through the time it took to do my assignment. It was interesting to find people with similar interests as me, that I would not have found without having to do the GPS. The people I met have various ideas for what future they want for themselves such as careers paths, and yet we were still able to make a
Time management and organization – Time management was critical this summer when juggling so many tasks at one time to ensure they all got accomplished by the specified due dates. One example of this was arranging my schedule so the videos got completed on time while still maintaining my high level of care for other assigned tasks.
In addition to my gained ability to do outlines, visiting the writing center was also beneficial whenever I received a writing prompt for the next essay. Tutors in the center were able to assess my thesis statements and let me discuss ideas about what to focus on when writing my
I hope everyone is enjoying their vacation. As discussed on Friday Ms.Z now has a google classroom account where all your assignment's will be posted. I have invited you all to join, if you have not received my invitation you may join by using the access code: 47jesv . If you have any questions feel free to email me.
Learning how to develop an outline before starting my essay is probably the biggest help. At the beginning, I thought you just start writing. I did not know to start with an outline. The outline helps me get my thoughts organized. I thought completing an outline would be redundant. Furthermore, the outline alone has improved my confidence.
Just to be clear, do you want us to discuss three different types of programs/sections (covered in Unit 3: Succeeding as an Online Learner) that are available, at our disposal, to help users acclimate to the online learning environment? Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sure, we all have that one parent that claims they know how to edit your paper, but oops they forget to spill the beans of how they could barely get above a B on papers themselves. The truth of the matter is writing is tough, and it does not come easy for everyone. For me, I struggle with grammar and just all the logistics that go into paper writing. However, there is a very big and bright light at the end of the tunnel for me. Yes, I will have to take more writing classes at Liberty University, but this time I will actually be able to get legitimate help. Thanks to Liberty University’s Undergraduate Writing Center, I will finally be able to get that writing help that I will need on my papers I will have to write. The writing center offers students the ability to sit down with a coach that will help them through what they are trying to accomplish on paper. Some of these coaching sessions can be in larger groups or can be requested to be one on one. Lessons on how to properly format MLA or APA will also be available at the writing center. For a student like me that does not exactly like writing, these resources will come in very handy. I truly believe that if I need help on a certain paper, then I will go there to make sure I get it. It is something that will give many students an edge over the tough papers that they will have to write as they make their way through
I am looking forward to using the writing and tutoring center this fall. One of the reasons
What I learned about my activity level from this assignment is that I am still a very active person because of Frisbee and flag football. If I did not have either of the two, my steps would be in the low teens and I would not be very active. It is weird to think how your physical activity goes down after high school. I can see it how my steps go down when I am not participating Frisbee or flag football.
The resource that I found very fundamental to me and my studies was the Jerry Falwell Library. The reason being is that with this library, as well as with any other, offers a variety of sources that can lead and or guide you into any research you may need. In education, as well as any other research class, it Is very imperative that one have all applicable resources made available to them, because it will enhance their knowledge on whatever it is they are wanting to learn. Van Brummelen (2002) states in his text that “"Resources are valuable learning tools. The availability of resources will affect your choice of activities (p. 147)”. This is true, the accessibility of resources will indeed have and substantial impact in regards to your choice
Using some simple time management skills can give the student the ability to complete tasks without feeling overwhelmed. Insufficient communication between myself and the school also crippled my studies. Over this course, I’ve learned to excel as a student the importance of new time management skills. The transition although stressful is exciting and eye opening. It's a completely different experience versus the typical college classes I was involved in when I enrolled in traditional college after high school. I will admit I am disappointed in myself this course for falling behind, being side tracked I’m unsure how far behind I’ve become. There’s one thing this has taught me and that’s discipline with my schedule because I find it's easy to get
During the enrolment on my Access to Nursing course, I faced the problem of having difficulty in managing my time schedules. When I decide to go back to education, I never gave a thought of how I will manage my time for work, family, and studying. I did not do any research about the course that I am taking; for instance, how many subjects do I need to take, what time and what day would it be. Instead, I assumed that I can choose and decide the subject I want to take and the day and time to go and attend it to make it fit with my existing schedules
These chronic and systematic harms place a heavy burden financially, logistically, and psychologically. With these three components you will first start managing your time by making a list of your daily schedule followed by responsibility for your assignments and matters. Any decision to leave all of your assignments for another time closer to the deadline will only help to accumulate work that you will end up not having enough time to do. Time is a very important resource in life, so you have to manage very wisely.
The in-class workshops, discussions, and activities component of this course definitely enhanced my experience and learning. I think the biggest benefit I derived from this component was the activity of peer review. I found this component helped me to reach the goal of engaging in formal and informal writing that analyzes and critically reflects on my major’s writing conventions and on my own writing practices and choices. In my academic experience, I often receive peer reviews that just say something to the effect of "good job." While it's nice to receive positive feedback it never helped me as a writer. I have always tried to offer solid advice on my peer reviews. I find it difficult to be critical of people's work, but I realize it is part
With this assignment, we got to experiment with their writing practice. In this, students are able to submit a written piece for review. This service gives tips on how to improve the piece that you have written. One of the other services is online tutoring. With online tutoring, you have two options, which are drop-in tutoring and scheduled tutoring. There are many different subjects that you can request tutoring in. There are also study guides available through this resource that cover a variety of subjects. I think that all of these services are helpful and I will most likely use them in the future. The one that I will probably use the most though is the writing practice that we used today. I am very glad to go to a university that provides so many wonderful resources to their students. College is not cheap, but I think that with Bethel, you are definitely getting your money's
One example of how the writing center has been useful to me is when I took my textual analysis paper to the writing center we used the lens more about and say back. The way that I get helped with the lenses is that when we used say back we summarize each paragraph. The other students in the writing center wrote about how they felt I was coming off and I wrote about how I felt I was coming off, and what my audience may notice in my writing. Sayback is helpful because if the people in the group feel that something does not make sense then they would let me know so I can fix it. The other lens we used was more about. More about is what I want to write more about so if I wanted to add more things to certain paragraphs I would let the group know. What the group would be writing is what they want to hear more of. Personally, I like to use say back and more about because when we're discussing it during the writing group it gives me more ideas to write about.
