Using Axia Colleges Educational Resources My plan of action in using Axia College educational Resources will be to use (CWE) resources will help me develop written communication. The center of writing excellence (|CWE) is a online lab designed to assist university’s students. The (CWE) will allow me to submit my paper and check for Plagiarism. Plagiarism is when a student copies information from a source without proper citations and without use of quotation marks or block quotation formatting. Write point will check my paper and give feedback on (CWE) provides tutorials and guides for writing and style guidelines, grammar tutorials, sample papers, plagiarism tutorial, APA information, thesis generator, essay development, resources tutorials and guides. The tutorial guides will give me instruction and guidance to fully develop my written skills. Good writing skills are very important to my academic and professional success. I plan to continue using (CWE) until graduating from the university I am attending now. By obtaining excellent writing communication skills will give me an advantage in the professional work environment and usage by inserting comments into the text of the paper at the point of error. Upholding Academic Honesty My plan of action in upholding academic honesty to avoid plagiarism by not presenting work that does not belong to me that has been prepared by someone other than myself. Using proper citation while using someone else ideas, data, language or argument without their knowledge. I will rely upon only my own abilities and retain from obtaining help in a manner that is not allowed. I will only submit my assignment never that has been previously submitted in another subject. I will only use websites that I have obtaining a license or permission to use pictures, graphs or information. As a student of university of Phoenix I promise to uphold academic honesty by having respect for ideas of others by trying to receive credit for someone else work. I am accepting all responsibility to abide by the student code of integrity, which is part of the student code of conduct. Setting and Achieving Goals My plan of action for setting and achieving my goals I would first identify what I want as my goal. Thinking and planning will help me to establish my direction I need to go in. My goal of obtaining an Associates degree in medical records is a long term goal due to the period of time to obtain 1 year old more. Short term goals are smaller steps to help me move toward my long term goals. I plan to use all resources within the (CWE) to help me develop my written communication skills. I put together a study group. Prioritizing my goals by arranging an handling things in a order of importance like family, wanting to do well, getting a job and class. I plan to reach my goal by studying and hard work. I would plan to accomplish my goal in about a year. So far I think that I need to adjust my goal at a steady pace. My daughter looks over my work twice a week and if I run into trouble my husband is also a student and we help each other. If my husband couldn’t help me I would call my mentor a resource through Axia College. By being specific in planning my goals the more likely I will fulfill them. Managing Time Wisely My plan of action for managing my time wisely is to identify my time related and preferences by knowing my needs and preferences this will allow me to create a schedule that works best for me. By creating a personal profile that can assist me in figuring out when I tend to focus better. Evaluate the effect of my profile habits and preferences that will help to move me in a positive direction, and the ones that will cause problems. Establishing a schedule that will work for me to succeed in school, Make a list of the things that need to be done. For example tests Thursday and Friday means I need to study Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Building a schedule will help me take control of my life by helping me in figuring out the time for task related things on fulfilling my goals, and it helps me remember task, events, due dates, responsibilities, and deadlines. In order for me to keep track of all my important task, dates and times I will get a planner. In my planner I will write my entire goal related task, and put them according to priority. I indicate priority levels by the importance, for instance: Priority 1- Is most crucial this includes taking care my daughter to school and picking her up. Completing school assignments, and paying bills. Priority 2 – Is important but flexible, examples include maintaining study time, house chores, and working out. Priority 3- These are least important examples include going to the movies with family or call a family member. Planning regularly, making a to-do-list, referring to my syllabus, posting a monthly and yearly calendar at home, taking advantage of technology provided by school, and avoid time traps that will use your time unwisely. Putting this plan to work will help me move forward to my academic goal. Fostering reading Comprehension and Retention My plan of action in Fostering Reading and Retention is to improve my comprehension and pace when reading by building my vocabulary and speed, the better my understanding the faster I will read. Thinking critically asking myself do I understand the paragraph' I have to challenge myself and approach difficult material. Define unclear concepts, use resource instructor, my study group, or my student mentor for help. I should find a place to where there are no distractions so I can focus. Learning to concentrate and being able to put my attention on one thing. Setting up study times and knowing the amount of time I want to spend studying material. Familiarizing myself with material ahead this will allow me to be in depth because, I already know the material I have seen before is easier for me to understand. Becoming emotionally involved, I am more likely to remember material that catches my attention than material that doesn’t. I must read for understanding, read and evaluate critically, read for practical information and, read for pleasure. Improving my reading skills help me to get what I want from each assignment. Applying personality and Learning Styles My plan of action for applying my personality and learning styles are to choose a study technique that will capitalize on my strengths. I plan to apply my personality by studying with others for example: a study group, and teach material to others for example help someone that may not understand an assignment, seek out tasks, groups, and subjects that involve helping people for example a person possible tutoring students. Finding ways to express thoughts and feelings clearly and honestly example being able to open up to classmates or your instructor are what my thoughts and feelings are about. Understanding assignments clearly and honest about situations, reflect on personal meanings of information for example when I receive information I should look it up, think about if I have ever used them, visualize information for example I should write information down on paper to review it, study in an quiet setting for example: when I study I need to find a quiet room to concentrate on what I’m doing. The more I know about my learning style, the more prepared I will be focused for school and work.
