Dear future student
It’s good that you have taken the time to finish your education the University of Phoenix has everything you need to be successful in you educational ride. Here the first seven weeks you will learn so much information that applies to the professional world, you will also learn about tools that will help you better prepare for time management. Being able to communicate with others is very important in the professional world, being able to communicate effectively can help you advance in a career, by doing so means you can get a point across in writing. This is important because in the human resource field you will have to write memos, and job descriptions. You want to be able to make your point as clear as possible. Also at phoenix you learn how to use grammar, I am not the best at grammar but I have been able to use the lab which has tools study guides and test which can help you better improve in your grammar. Here at Phoenix University you get all of the tools you need to learn how to expand your commutation skills. So far throughout the seven weeks at phoenix I have learned a better way to set goals, I use SMART goals which stands for specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and timely. I think this was a good tool because it shows me how to manage my goal setting. Before I learned about this tool I didn’t know how to set my goal, I now know that my goals have to be reachable meaning have to but levels to goals. One thing that is extremely important is attendance and participation which is half of your grade, to get you attendance you have to long in to class at least 3 time a week for at least an hour, to meet your participation your have to post at least 8 times throughout the week over a period of three days. This also plays a big role because in order to meet your participation you must be able to manage you time, this is where time management comes into handy. Phoenix teaches the managing your time is as important as anything else

    Everyone is told to go to school get a degree in order to get a good job and many students blindly do this without ever realizing what they actually want to become. Speaking from personal experiences I find myself in the lost phase where I am unsure of what the future holds for me and what direction to go in. While other schools do not this into consideration, Point Loma Nazarene University understands this and has created an environment to allow every student to embrace these challenges and uncertainty’s. Point Loma Nazarene University’s guiding principles allow for students to gain help in areas aside from academics in order to build character and values and face all…

    <I’ve learned so much during this course and have truly grown as a person. I have never really been too open minded. I kind of stick to what I believe and no one can tell me otherwise. My grandma is really the only other person I really believe could tell me something and I would consider what she was saying as being correct. She influenced so much in my life. A lot of my decisions and choices I thought of her first or I would call and ask for her input. Without any extra questions or searching for other possible answers I would believe her almost instantly and go with what she said. During these few weeks I have learned to investigate all possibilities before making a decision so I can make the best one. My pride and my stubbornness also kept me from using critical thinking. Instead of taking the time to really analyze a problem and pick the best way to fix it I just did what I felt was the thing to do. During my time in this course I was taught the necessary steps to take in order to properly solve issues. I plan on utilizing everything I have learned for not only the rest of my academic time with the university of Phoenix , but for the rest of my life in and out of school or work.…

    This classes teaches you how to be successful in college and ways to do that. I've learned so many strategies from the On Course textbook. I was lacking in motivation, so I tried the formula for motivation and found my motivation level to be lower than I would like it to be. My value on my education was a 5. My expectation on my education to be a 5. And my motivation was a 25 which was very low. To improve my score and try to make it increase I set goals using DAPPS which is dating my goals, making them achievable, positive and personal, and specific. I also created my life plan. The life plan made me realize my dreams as a student and what my short term goals were. Setting goals using DAPPS really encouraged me and made me want to accomplish them. Dating my goals made it feel like a challenge and that made me want to go for it more. Achievable made me think that I can do this and that there's no way that I can't. A positive goal was easy for me to think of. Lastley, being specific made me visualize what the outcome of my goal will look like. Using the DAPPS made my motivation…

    It is a big step for someone who has been out of school for so long, to have the courage to begin the journey of higher education. Personally, it took me several years of contemplating if going back to school was the right move for me. I postponed it until I realized this was the only way I could provide my family with the life I’ve always dreamed of. I’ve came to realize that even though this will be a very challenging 4 years of my life, I will persevere as long as I keep my eyes on the price and stay motivated. There are many components to ensure success in my educational and career endeavors; such as, personal responsibility, use of the resources provided by the University, and have self-awareness. I’m sure to succeed as long as I apply myself and take advantage of the resources that are designed to assist in my academic life, subsequently into my professional life.…

    Overall, this was a good experience for me to get some practice talking with others face to face. I enjoyed it and really liked how the people there were very nice and willing to answer any of the questions I had for them. Most of these jobs would be part time jobs, which would help me get some work experience and still get my school work done.

    Through the last nine weeks this class and my experiences have taught me so much about how to prepare myself for my future not only in my college courses but in my career path too. I started this path not really knowing what to expect but in desperate need for a change in my life. In all reality I didn’t realize how unprepared I actually was. This course imp articular taught me so much! I learned how to set goals for myself so that I could stay motivated and be able to visually see my completion of each goal. You separate your goals into short term and long term so that you can effectively schedule your tasks at hand in the correct order to accomplish all of your goals. When I realized that I had a fear of failing I was also directed in this course to learn how to overcome procrastination. It is easy to be motivated in this learning environment by reading the stories and opinions of the other students here. The more motivated you are the less you procrastinate! Managing my time was definitely one of the hugest struggles for me through this experience so I was thankful that this topic was covered so thoroughly in the past weeks. I actually am starting to enjoy making the calendar for each week that organizes the lives of my daughter and I. Another lesson that goes hand in hand with time management is creating an effective learning and study environment. It’s so important to be able to get the absolute most out of every minute of your time. To do this I’ve found that when studying you need to be able to focus yourself on nothing other than your schoolwork and assignments on hand. With all of the things I have learned by my experiences in the past few weeks I feel more confident about my pursuit in my career goals. I feel this has set me up to succeed. I have been able to learn how to think outside the box and be independent in my decision making process.…
