MANAGING TIME

Where does our time go?

THINGS NOT TO BE POSTPONED Eating

How many hours?

Exercising

I don’t exercise because...

BE CAREFUL IN SETTING PRIORITIES

THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN MAKING USE OF SCHEDULING TOOLS Put your classes & studying times first on your schedule! (?)

Before making a plan observe one of your regular week & pay attention to how much time u devote to each activity!

*Especially pay attention to your study habits (handout)

Stay on track but be flexible!

Try not to leave all other things (e.g, courses, extracurricular

act.s) aside when u have an exam coming up)!

MANAGING HUMAN RESOURCES: SEEKING HELP

*My ideas on help seeking in university!

WHY DON’T SOME STUDENTS ASK? negative internal & stable attributions about their

performance (no matter what I do, it won’t help!)

scared to look stupid

learning without help not supported by realities of development

the difference between experts & novices in a field: knowingwhen u need help, where to find it / whom to ask for

management strategies. Friends in your section can learn a lot from you.
