There are a couple of reasons why I decide to pursue further studies. Firstly is to broaden my career options, secondly to increase my knowledge, thirdly to stay current with management tools, and lastly, for betterment of overall personal development.

This module has taught me valuable skills which are pertinent to my everyday life.

I am always motivated by those people who possess higher qualifications and capable of managing multiple roles in life e.g. student, child, employee. Perhaps good time management plays a vital part.

The first project of this module is to do a group poster presentation. We have limited time to carry out research and we were worn off by the intensive lectures. This is where I found out how time management and team work play as important elements for success. We distributed the workload among ourselves and set a time frame for completion. Group members were to adhere to the time frame stipulated. This is how we manage to complete a simple presentation, with many hidden hard work behind our success.

When I started my first semester, I find myself struggling for time. My lifestyle has become chaotic as I have to juggle between school, work and family. I felt tired everyday and have no motivation to complete my tasks. This is mainly due to my poor time management. The poster presentation has made me realize that many things can be achieved with proper planning of time.

Another valuable skill I have gained is to show empathy to others. This is not limited to showing sympathy but to understand and appreciate people’s feelings. My lecture class consists of mostly part time students, who have to shuttle from workplace to school. We often have group discussions during lectures and participation of some classmates may appear low as he or she may have an awful day at work. Thus, it is important to understand their situation, instead of giving them ‘death sentence’ immediately when they do not seems to

    As a student time management is essential to keep a healthy equilibrium. All forms of time management begin with planning an adequate schedule. Moreover, the general argument made by author Sandra Jennings in her piece “Time management” indicates the rough shift for High school students transitioning to becoming freshman’s in college. More specifically, the balance between needs, desire and obligations. She writes “…importance of responsibility and the consequences for actions….”. As a student is vital to find the right balance to be able to succeed, additionally, to maintain a healthy mind and body.…

    Studying and working has been through a significant change since the early ages. Before teamwork was introduced, personal skill was the only attributes that employers or other people look for in a person. Now, they must look for teamwork, adaptability and communication. These aspects are important in any teamwork whether it is in the workforce or in schools similar to what Bolman suggest that ‘Much of the work in large organisations in now done in small groups or team. When those teams work badly, as they often do, they can block even the most talented individuals from realising their potential’ (Bolman et al, 1992); evidently, experiencing first hand the success, complications and failures of teamwork whilst collaborating for the presentation.…

    Bradford, I really enjoyed your post as we share the same ideas and seem to have the same experiences with multiple supervisors. I liked how you stated up front that unity of command and unity of direction mean different things and not should not be confused with each other. To me, unity of command is the most important because unity of direction cannot exist without it, especially in criminal justice. Like you said, each officer should only have one direct supervisor that is ultimately responsible for him or her because confusion can arise if there are more than one. I saw this recently at my agency and it really affects the newer officers if the problem is not corrected. I also saw how unity of direction can really work when one…

    Pre-O helped me transition because it helped me make friends before classes started. While everyone else were attempting to make new friends the students of Pre-O already formed bonds and found friends. It also helped me become familiar with the campus. The rest of the incoming freshmen were struggling during orientation because they didn't have the advantage that we did. They asked us all types of questions such as 'Where is Modlin?', 'What is the quickest way to get back to the dorms?', and so on. All in all, it was just a nice feeling to be able to knowledgeable and not have to struggle with new surroundings.…

    I grow up as an English Language Learner (ELL) and it was difficult to know what language to speak in certain environment. I was part of ELL for largest part of my education life and even though various peers were in it as well I felt out of place and struggled more in class. I needed extra support with reading and writing because it was a new language. It was hard to manage two contrasting language and I would not know what language to use, but when I started the third grade it was all English and I still was in the ELL program. All I was learning was English in class and at home my parents were speaking English a little bit more each day, so I was speaking more English by the end of third grade. I had to pass a test to get out of it but still…

    Initially, I had a negative view on group working because of the challenges that I had. When I was in high school, my five other friends and I used to work together in a music competition. Although we were supposed to get together to practice for the event, we were only able to meet up once a week. In addition to having a hard time with time scheduling, we often did not have a consensus of opinion. Whenever we had a discussion, we usually ended up with no results. So it always took a long time for us to make a decision. Consequently, the performance did not turn out as well as we expected. Because of this initial failure, I thought group work was time consuming and ineffective. However, I have changed my opinion lately because of the successful results in some of my laboratory classes. In each laboratory assignment, it is nearly impossible to work by myself because there are a lot of steps and each step needs to be very precise and accurate. Therefore, a group of two or three students will work more effectively compared to an individual because they can help to remind each other and finish the assignment faster. Based on those experiences, one more time I give myself a chance to work in a group and figured out how work effectively. Finally, thank to the Small group communication class, I found out that group work can become very productive if all the members in the group cooperate and follow the principles of small group communication. In this paper, I want to talk…

    At first, I want to learn how to manage my time wisely because I don't want to start working on my assignment before the deadline by couple hours. A wise time management can help me in avoiding stress, anxiety, uncompleted tasks, and low grades, so it is crucial for me to learn and practice time management strategies through my next four years. These strategies involve a sagely investment of time, whereas I will finish my tasks based on their priorities, difficulties, lengths, and deadlines.
