  1. The academic resource website was a brief explanation on how to keep time management. They explained how to make to-do lists, prioritize, and self discipline. The website gave a brief explanation on how to problem solve, and make better decisions.
    Today we talked about Comparison and Contrast in essay form. We compared Superman and Batman. We focused on the four p's: Purpose, points, patterns, and presentation. We also focused on persuasive writing with an example that Batman was more credible than Superman.

  3. I thought this web site really helped because it asked questioned that made me think about the answers. For example: Is my procrastination related to my project or is it a habit? My procrastination is definitely a habit i struggle to over come. I might try the "creating a list" idea, but I doubt it would help me.

  9. In college time management is very important. I try to plan out the time to do each of my assignments but it is hard to stick to the plan. As we get used to our classes and our schedule it will be easier to manage the time for work. Motivation is needed to do assignments so we should try to find ways to motivate ourselves. With all the distractions on Guam we need to be diligent in our work and school.
