I also now know that I need additional time to devote to this class. Where in other classes, I do not seem to struggle on assignments and clarification.

When I first started this course, my grades were not where I wanted them to be. I found myself feeling down about it because I expected more from myself. I knew it was not my best work, and wondered what I could do to improve them. With “Achiever” as a strength, I am pushed by my drive.(Clifton, Anderson, Schreiner, 2006). I thrive off of hard work and often look to myself for the motivation needed to complete whichever task is needed. Seeing those grades made me want to improve and work harder. I began to set aside time to only focus on my

Hi, my name is Sandra Madison my major is in Human Development and Family Science. A strength I have that will help me through this online course is dedication. Once I set my mind on a goal or completing a task that becomes my main focus and where I want to spend my time and energy.

Through this course I expect to become familiar with the online learning format. I have never taken online courses previously so I plan to learn the skills necessary for me to become a successful online scholar.

I feel my strongest areas in this class is the nature of this course my understanding of the material, and the exemplary way of explaining of professor Joel help me to develop a strong way of learning and working. I also feel the are of the class that prove to be my weakest is the writing expectations. I honestly in my 4 years in college had teachers that expect I high level of writing, I feel that is the reason why I do not consider my self fully prepared. However, now that I am close to my graduation I am glad to be in this course, because of trough this semester I feel more confident in public speaking and my writing skills.

My SRL (self-regulated learning) survey suggests that I am prepared for online courses. My overall scores for Metacognition, Strategies, and Motivation were all rated high. My SRL feedback breaks down each of the three scores to a subsection, each subsection gives you detailed analysis on how you should do while attending WGU.

Reading the course schedule and printing out a copy has contributed to my success in this course. I went in and recorded due dates for assignments, discussions boards, and test/quizzes. Also, logging into my Moodle and my email once a day to check announcements and coursework has advanced my success in this course. When I don’t understand something I ask questions and I make sure to email my instructor when facing difficulties.

The course is going on well. It is not hard, it only requires critical reading and understanding of the textbook. The first challenge I am facing is failing to read the units for weeks 1, 2 and 3. I had problems in downloading the textbook due to network failure. I had to travel to the city, to access network and that was in week four. The second one is, the time allocated to graded quiz was not enough as compared to number of questions. I wish the time could go up to 45 minutes, for 25

Here are some of the strategies I plan on employing in the online pathway which will allow me to be successful. To start off I’ve had a good amount of experience with online courses. One of the biggest skills I’ve developed is maximizing time management and the usage of technology. I take full advantage using a schedule which allows to keep on track, setting time aside for studying or group work, and helping maintain a school/life balance. In keeping a schedule also allows me to submit assignments well before their due dates. The next strategy I’ve developed is with the use of online based study tools. Because the lectures are recorded I often rewatch lectures along with reviewing notes and text books as a way of staying on track and prepared for new content. While watching lectures or while reading the courses texts, I often write down any questions I may have in a notebook. If while reading I am able to answer my own question I write down the answer after the question. This acts not only as a way to help in retention of new information but it also acts as an additional tool for review. If there are any other questions I then reach out through email or online video chat. Additionally using skype has also been exceedingly helpful resource in solving

I still need to work on these, but I have found myself being a lot more positive, consistent, and improving my self-management. I have learned to be more positive and not dwell on my
