reflecting on skills for success
[ad_1]
hello there, I need help working on this assignment . below, there is a prompt of what the professor wants.
Reflecting on Skills for Success
Do You Have What It Takes?
Some people make it through college and others donâ€
t. This is a simple fact of higher education. A high graduation rate is the goal of any university, so universities have funded in-depth studies to unearth the reasons why some students persist in college and others do not.
What might surprise you is that the main reason is not that students are incapable of learning new content. Certainly, this happens, but the main reason that the vast majority of students donâ€t get their degree is that life gets in the way.
National University is a university focused on working adults. Most of us in this class have jobs, families, and possibly children. It is not easy to juggle all these things, and often determination is the key factor in pressing through.
Many students, however, make things much harder on themselves than is needed because they haven’t explored all the resources provided by the university. They don’t know how to ask for help, and they don’t know who to ask for help in those moments when life gets in the way.
Part 1: Test Your Skills!
In this assignment we are going to ask you to complete a brief Quiz that measures non-academic factors in student success, such as commitments, social support, and determination.
