1 SLS1515 13 April 2022 Course Wrap Up - Assignment: Final Essay The topics that influenced or helped me the most in this course were: Learning Styles and Strategies, Goal Setting and Time Management, and Financial Management. From the Learning styles section, I discovered that I learn best with Kinesthetic and Auditory learning modalities. Reading and writing learning has also proven itself to be useful for me. Learning more about Goal Setting was also helpful for me, as I struggle with managing my time well. Financial Management taught me a lot about ways to budget and save up money, which are both areas that I need to improve on. The part of the reading for Learning Style and Strategies called “The Role of Memory” was very useful as it suggested thinking about concepts rather than facts ( “The Role of Memory.” ). Considering the overall concept of a subject or idea encourages you to get a deeper understanding of it and form your own ideas about the material. Also, writing out your own summary of the topic can help you to process what you just read. I found it shocking that people forget an average of 80 percent of what they learn a day later. To minimize this, it’s better to study more often in smaller increments of time. I struggle a lot with balancing my free time and my study time. The Goal Setting and Time Management topic, specifically the reading about “Your Use of Time,” had a lot of useful, relevant information. I easily fall into using the Pressure Cooker time management type and procrastinate a lot ( “Your Use of Time.” ). This is not the most effective way for me to make sure everything is done before it is due. I fool myself into thinking that putting off my assignments is

2 just a way for me to keep from stressing myself out about them, but in reality, the due date comes before I even know it and I end up with much more stress than before, which could have easily been avoided. For as long as I can remember, I have been terrible with money. I often don’t place enough value in my money and spend way more than I need to. The Personal Finance section of the online textbook listed a lot of ways to better manage your money as well as your expenses. According to the text, it is a very good idea to create a budget for yourself based on your income and your expenses ( “Personal Finance.” ). This way, you can easily figure out how much money you will have left over for extra expenses like entertainment and luxury items. I can definitely see myself implementing the envelope method into my monthly budget. Utilizing what I have learned in this course in both my academics and personal life will greatly benefit me. I need to improve in many of the areas I mentioned. However, with practice comes mastery of these skills. With enough practice of goal setting and time management, budgeting and saving, and using my preferred learning styles to effectively memorize material, I will be on the right track to improving my skills in these areas.
