Part 1: Overcoming Challenges

In Week 1, you completed the Success Prep Inventory (located in Ch. 2, Section 2.1.2 of your myBook, Powered by zyBooks) in which you were asked, “As you begin at the University of Phoenix, what do you think is your biggest challenge?” Reflect on this challenge and what you have learned over the past 5 weeks.

Write a 50- to 75-word response to each of the following questions. Enter your response on a new line below the questions.

  • How has this course helped you with challenges?
  • What actions have you taken during the past 5 weeks to work toward overcoming challenges? What are your plans moving forward?
  • What resources (UOPX resources or otherwise) have you used to help overcome challenges?

Part 2: Goal Setting

Write a 50- to 75-word response to each of the following questions. Enter your response on a new line below the questions.

  • What specific short-term goals do you need to meet to achieve your long-term goal of graduating?
  • How does setting goals lead to success?
  • What are the benefits of both short- and long-term goals?

Part 3: Time Management

Write a 50- to 75-word response to each of the following questions. Enter your response on a new line below the questions.

  • When you started this course, what was your initial estimate, in general, for the time required each week to spend on schoolwork? Was this estimate accurate? Why or why not?

  • Using the content taught in class, what time management skills can you implement to ensure success in future classes? (Be honest about your schedule, noting strengths and areas for growth.)

Part 4: Communication

Write a 50- to 75-word response to each of the following prompts. Enter your response on a new line below the prompts.

  • Which of the 5 steps in the writing process (prewriting, organization, drafting, revising, editing) do you anticipate will be the most challenging for you? What is your action plan for overcoming this challenge?
  • Share a resource from the Center for Writing Excellence that will support you in the writing process.
