Strategies for Online Learning—Week 2, Assignment 3

• How can you use the information in the Campus Common and Student Handbook to positively affect goals you have set for your academic life and career?
• On your review of the student handbook did you find a task that you have avoided in the past? List the policy and identify the solution you may have used to keep from avoiding the task.
• What information can you get from career services that will help you in the construction of your career portfolio?

The Campus Common can positively affect my learning goals by improving my work. I always try to improve, and receiving feedback on my homework assignments can help me to realize areas that need improvement. Also, the sense of camaraderie that develops there can help to ease the stresses of assignment deadlines.

The career services link takes me to the Worldwide Professionals Network, where I can get advice on what to include in my career portfolio from industry professionals. Talking with people who really work in my field of study will improve my chances of obtaining a good job because these professionals will know what they would look for in a career portfolio—what would make a good candidate for a job opening.
