They would be patient, knowledgeable, kind and easy to talk to.

"Dear Professor __"

Be prepared- go over notes and write down the questions you want to ask.

Establishing a "mentor" relationship. Could possibly ask for a reference letter in the future. They may know of more jobs or internships.

Block off times to study and try to do it the same time every day so it becomes a habit. Leave times in my schedule to do some extra studying if I need to.

Take one day at a time and utilize any extra time you have to do a little work to keep yourself ahead.

You can force yourself to feel stressed out which can eventually result in feeling burned out.

Work on something small to help motivate me to get started.

Have a to-do list. Utilize and follow the schedule I have on my planner. Wake up earlier to take advantage of alone time I have in the morning to study.

Be sure to explain how you need alone time to focus and study.

A place where you can be fully focused. A place where you have a table or desk. Somewhere that meets your needs to be able to study efficiently.

Knowing how happy and how good I’ll feel once it’s done.

Remind yourself of your goals. Think of how happy you will feel once you accomplish something. Make decisions that will make you happy. Be thankful for the opportunity to better your life.

Goals that will set you up for success.

When my youngest son is napping and my oldest is at school. When my fiance gets home from work and can watch the kids. I can wake up earlier to work on studying before the kids get up.

Take my oldest to his football game and practices, go to the chiropractor, read a chapter for a writing assignment and do some discussion questions.

I will have to ask for help.

Spending time with my kids.

Later in the day.

In the mornings.

Ask for help with my kids. Set a reward for myself to look forward to if I do sit down and study. Remind myself of my goals.

Sachito needs to let her husband know they can go out as long as her studying is done. She needs to know that it’s okay to say no or to ask for more help.

James should get his priorities straight and do his reading before he goes online to talk to friends.

Becky needs to do better at time management and plan more time to be able to work on her senior thesis. Her priorities are going to cause her to fall behind and being president should be less of a priority when it comes to her school work.

If I were Juan, I would sit down and explain to the mom and set boundaries letting her know the importance of attending classes and staying focused. I’d explain how spending time with her is important too, just not during school time.

I imagine studying with the student who has a negative attitude would just discourage me and not much studying would get done. I imagine studying with the positive and upbeat student would motivate me to stay positive and to try harder.

A negative attitude can make it so you have already made up your mind that you are not going to do well which can result in giving up or not trying hard enough.

Long-term goals: - To have a career where I can work from home or anywhere. - To have financial freedom. - To love what I do for work.

Midterm goals: - Pace myself with my school work so I don’t feel burned out. - Don’t be afraid to ask questions. - Don’t be afraid to ask for help at home if I’m feeling overstimulated or overwhelmed.

My short-term goals: - To stay organized, focused and on track with my assignments. - To make myself a schedule every week so I don’t get stressed out thinking I have to do all my work in one day. - To enjoy learning and remember to take care of myself in the meantime.

Counseling office or check in with my mentor.

Reading, writing and aural.

Visual and kinesthetic

Stay focused and positive.

Reviewing what I’ve learned.

Take notes to and remind myself why I’m going to college and my goals.

Asking for help if I need it.

Perfectionism.

The wellbeing of my kids and their happiness.

Not be overly obsessed with my grades but shifting my focus on staying positive and pushing myself to do my best.

Seeking out and asking resources for help before anything becomes a problem. Not be scared to ask for help if I’m struggling to understand something. Getting help with time and self-management if I need to.

I don’t have a negative attitude towards college

Working on my skills and trying harder with group work and communication with other students.

Aural and interpersonal

Visual and kinesthetic

This question doesn’t apply to me because I don’t know my high school GPA but regardless I am going to work on staying focused, motivated and to not give up.

Undergraduates must maintain a minimum of a 2.0

I was homeschooled so I don’t know.

The housing office.

Financial aid department.

The counseling office.

To your math instructor.

To your advisor or mentor.

Copying notes from another student instead of paying attention. Copying and pasting information off the internet and using it as your own. Paying a classmate to copy their test answers.

Good self- management skills. Motivation to set a schedule for learning. Willingness and ability to learn and communicate on a computer.

Picturing myself in the situation being taught and thinking about how something feels or smells would be helpful.

I sometimes have a hard time focusing when someone is talking so learning from strictly listening to someone speak would be a struggle.

I learn from reading instructions and hands on work.

I think I am both a visual and kinesthetic learner.

I am a returning student and my advantage is that I am more motivated than I was when I was younger.

It’s been 20 years since I’ve graduated so going back to school is a big change.
