•
What actions have you taken during the past 5 weeks to work toward overcoming challenges? What are your plans moving forward?
I have learned to not be scared about using the library to gain knowledge when doing my researches. I have also overcame the fear of making bad grade because I did not know who or how to give
the right people credit. I was just using their work in the past and scared. I plan on using what I have learned on the daily now.

What resources (UOPX resources or otherwise) have you used to help overcome challenges?
I found out that the university of Phoenix have a lot of helpful tools that I can use. The Library for researching, and the chatting tools and zybooks and etc. I also have been using some outside resources as well. I am very confident now and happy that I can use the resources.

What specific short-term goals do you need to meet to achieve your long-term goal of graduating?
Short-term I need to work on my time management skills. I also need to work on my confidence in my work as well.

It will also help me to be able to communicate the newly up to
date information.

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?
When I started this, I was scared and thought there was not enough time to do all of this work. it all seem a little overwhelming, but by the second week I was able to balance things out and get my time down. Balancing out everything work,family,and school was tough but doable.
Having a planner has really helped me stay on task. Also my support system was and is a big help.
•
Discuss the schedule you developed for this course, GEN/201. What worked well with your schedule?
During this course a schedule was a must . I had to go over my task for the week in school on Tuesdays and get my work schedule and make sure I put time aside between time to work on my assignments to make sure everything was done before the end of the week.
•
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.)
The schedule I develop in Gen/201 worked well for this course, but I know that I am going to have to work on it because I have a feeling that I am going to do more work. This course help me to become a better organizer. I was scared but now I am able to face my challenges.
•
Are there areas where you struggled with time management? How do you plan to overcome these challenges? What resources are available to support you?
Yes , my time management skills are a struggle because I be tired from driving all day . When I am like that I feel that I have time the next day to do things. I also struggle because I love social media
and love to see what my friends and family posted for the day. I am working on limiting my time on those sites, because that takes time from assignments I have due.
