Self Development Skills Course Analysis

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

The second challenge that one must overcome is time management. As an adult learner, I decided my best avenue of approach to attain my post graduate degree was to acquire it through an online source. "Students must balance work, family, and school demands where feelings of being rushed and fatigued are common" (Kramer, 2007, p. 158). The first strategy to overcome the challenge is to select the right school that will meet your needs. As I stated before, I selected an online source to attain my educational goals because it fit my complex work schedule. The second strategy to diminish the challenge of time management is to become organized. Start by becoming familiar with the course syllabus so you know what is expected of you. Take copious notes and create a "to-do list" so you can prioritize your tasks in a manner that would set you up for success. Crossing off completed tasks as you follow the to-do list would help keep oneself organized and focused. If you implement these two strategies during your studies you can effectively manage you time between your full-time

Within the first couple of weeks of the class I quickly learned that I had to be able to manage my time carefully between work, home, and school or that I was not going to do well at all. At first I found this to be hard due to my career in law enforcement, working 2 weeks of days and 2 weeks nights makes it extremely hard to get anything done. Once I was able to manage my time better by using a planner, I was able to focus more

After taking the quiz I received a score of a 38. I would agree with this score because I try to do my best at choosing an environment that will best suit me, yet there are still places I could improve in my study habits. When I am studying or doing homework, I either try to find a place in my home that does not have too much noise, or I will go to Starbucks. While I am doing my work I do not stay on one single subject for too long, in order to try and keep myself from getting frustrated or worked up. Doing this also helps me get more work completed, so I have time for sports and other activities. When being a student- athlete, there is a large amount that can stack up ontop of eachother and I have to learn how to manage everything. Time management plays a big role in the life of a student- athlete. To make sure I get everything done and I study the best way for myself, I have to manage how much time I spend on everything, stick to a routine, be engaged and proactive. In all, there are multiple ways that I can improve my study skills as a student- athlete.

In this self-assessment I will be writing an analyses of my skills during my in class mini interview evaluation. I will be focusing on the following: relationship, inform consent, micro-skills, and overall impression.

So far in my high school career I have had to manage my core classes that I take at school and online classes that I take through Sauk Valley Community College. Taking all of these classes at the same time has been stressful, but I am able to manage my stress through skills such as prioritizing and time management. Prioritizing helps me remind myself what is most important and make sure that I am making the most use of the time I have. When I use time management skills, I make sure that I work on

I had prepared myself prior to taking the course, by researching study techniques online. And went from simply rewriting the material to writing it in my own words. As well as this, including doodles and visual cues which, as a rather creative person, I have found work well for me. However something I feel rather lets me down is my inability to manage time well, which I have also been working on. At times this is not something I am in control of, but that is not to say that I always make the best use of my free time and the time I have in which to study.

I find being exposed to a busy lifestyle has already given me an advantage with the experience to plan and manage ahead of schedule. Through the experience of bringing up children, I have gained the tools required to reach my goal and am grateful for the knowledge gained. I have chosen to start with one unit for the first study period to allow myself to become familiar with the processes required to study and engage in each subject at a deep level. I plan to review the amount of units I take on per study period, as I familiarise myself with the tertiary learning process. I will base this judgement on monitoring my success through my diary records and assignment outcomes. In future, staying on track and prioritizing life’s tasks will at times prove difficult. There will always be motivational challenges and obstacles to overcome. The time management skills I have acquired and continual planning are definitely the answer to my overwhelming life and mandatory to keeping me on my path to

This course is necessary to help student's figure out how they will manage their study time. This course taught me how to plan a study schedule that can best meet my goal. With selecting days to print work. read, watch the attend videos, and write help me create structure.

I took the Conley Readiness Index survey and have reviewed and analyzed my results. My areas of strength are Learning Skills and Key Cognitive Strategies. My strengths in Learning Skills makes me a better student by enabling me to learn so I am vital in success. My quality of my work in school demonstrates this strength. Transition Knowledge is a skill that I can use development in.

In this course I learned a variety of strategies that will help me be a successful student in the future. The reading strategies will help me whenever I retake the SAT in the future. I can keep my stress in check if I set up a stress management plan. In college you can’t afford to procrastinate so I’ll set up a procrastination prevention plan. I will definitely have to set up a time management plan. I know what my learning style is so I know how I’ll set up my notes in future classes. I will find a way to keep myself motivated in the future to benefit

In my learner skills assessment I discovered that I am quite strong in particular areas, this includes, independent work, and responsibility. I have quite introverted tendencies, that can show when I complete schoolwork. Personally, I find it easiest to work alone and with little distractions to help keep me focused and on task, which I struggle with. Therefore I thrive when I have the opportunity to work independently, and become a more efficient better student. Next, because of my independence I find myself relying on myself more often which forces me to become more responsible. For example, in my culminating assignment for my drama class this year, I was elected as director and was forced to become responsible for my fifteen group members.

Time management became extremely crucial to me because I was juggling a job and school along with deadlines and other important dates throughout the term. It wasn’t until about a month into the term that I realized I needed to fix the way I was utilizing my time. The topic discussed building a schedule and putting the priorities first then adding in less important activities after to ensure that the priorities were met. Also, to make to do list every day so that all important events aren’t forgotten about or pushed off to the side. My biggest problem is procrastinating so I actually used

To persevere in this graduate program, I will have to manage my time efficiently and handle the stress of being a wife, a mom, a student, and a long-term substitute teacher. Some great advice that I heard on how to manage my stress was to think about commitment, control, and change in a simpler manner (Evans, 2015). I am committed to this program because I know it will help me achieve a life goal. Furthermore, in prioritizing what I want to have control over, and by looking at change as a new experience, I will overcome any difficulties.

In this assignment I am going to reflect on my development within the study skills module. Throughout the module I have learnt about many different forms of study skills and aids to be able study effectively. I feel that I do still have a lot to learn about them and how they will help with my future studies. Coming back into study after such a long break was very daunting for me, but once I settled in I knew I had all the tools needed to help with my studies I just had to improve upon them. I have chosen to write about three subjects that I feel have helped me the most, these are Motivation, Learning Styles and Time Management. I feel that the use of these skills have helped me the
