Your project sponsor and customer are impressed with your project schedule, but due to some factors out of their control, you've been told to deliver your project early, roughly 15% earlier than anticipated. Using the information from the readings, explain how you would go about assessing the possibility of delivering your project early. How will that affect scope, costs, and schedule?
As you reflect on these strategies, think about how you previously learned a new skill, subject, or process in an informal setting. When we often think of learning, we focus on formal settings–your high school classroom, an online class you took, military training, or a boot camp for a certification. Informal learning experiences can teach us quite a bit, though. What strategies and approaches did you use in your informal learning experience? How can you apply those to learning new concepts and skills while you’re a student at University of Maryland Global Campus? Even if the university environment is new to you, you come to learning with skills, strengths, and strategies you can draw from to connect new knowledge to what you already know.

Your Learning Strengths and Supports
The Module 2 materials on learning skills and strengths will introduce you to strategies for improving learning, managing your time as an online student, and dealing with distractions. You will also be introduced to a variety of student support resources available to all University of Maryland Global Campus students, as well as some resources about networking and student organizations.
In this module’s assignment, you will reflect on the learning strategies that help you learn best and how you plan to apply those strategies to your future classwork at University of Maryland Global Campus.
Learning Skills and Strengths
· eReading: Concentration and Distraction One of the biggest challenges to successful studying is distractions. Understanding what distractions you might face and how to avoid them in an effort to concentrate on your studying, will help you efficiently complete your schoolwork.
· eReading: Online Study Skills and Managing Time Pursuing a degree online rather than in person increases the importance of time management. Unlike a face-to-face program, you will not have an instructor standing in front of you every week explaining what needs to be done and reminding you of deadlines. Instead, you will need to ensure that you stay on top of all of your responsibilities— both academic and personal. Understanding your time management style, knowing how to effectively organize your time in the best way for your style, and learning how to prioritize your time are all imperative for academic and professional success.
· eResource: What Is Imposter Syndrome and How Can You Combat It? Have you ever had the feeling that you haven't earned your accomplishments, or that your success is based on luck rather than hard work? Despite their success, even Maya Angelou and Albert Einstein had those feelings on occasion. These types of feelings are actually incredibly common across race, gender, and background, and often referred to as Imposter Syndrome (or Imposter Experience or Imposter Phenomenon). This video talks about Imposter Syndrome and how you can work to combat it.
· eResource: Growth Mindset Do we have the power to change ourselves and the world around us? Are we destined from the time we are born to walk down certain roads? Your answer to these questions is determined by your mindset. People with a growth mindset believe they can develop and expand upon their abilities through persistence and hard work— brains and talent are just the starting point. Maintaining a growth mindset throughout your academic journey can help you embrace learning, work through challenges, and overcome obstacles.
Learning Support Systems
· eResource: Tutoring Services The University of Maryland Global Campus offers no-cost individualized assistance to help students achieve their career and academic goals. Online tutoring is available for a variety of subjects and courses.

In Module 2 we focused on learning, how we are constantly learning new things, how it is beneficial to have a growth mindset approach to learning, and how it is helpful to reflect on our strategies as a learner. As you reflect on these strategies, think about how you previously learned a new skill, subject, or process in an informal setting. When we often think of learning, we focus on formal settings–your high school classroom, an online class you took, military training, or a boot camp for a certification exam. Informal learning experiences can teach us quite a bit, though. What strategies and approaches did you use in your informal learning experience? How can you apply those to learning new concepts and skills while you’re a student at University of Maryland Global Campus? Even if the university environment is new to you, you come to learning with skills, strengths, and strategies you can draw from to connect new knowledge to what you already know. For example, think about how you learned to cook a new dish by following a recipe. Perhaps you first blocked out time to read the recipe all the way through, noting the ingredients and tools you would need to make the dish. When it came time to make the dish, you might have followed the recipe step by step, then asked your partner or a friend to taste it and share his or her opinion. Based on that feedback, you adjusted and customized the recipe. After that, you practiced making the dish several times, adding your own flavors and spices to perfect the recipe to your liking. Once you became familiar with the recipe, you may have progressed to making the dish from memory. As a university student, you can apply this same learning process and strategy to your academics. Let’s look at the correlation between the two. When you are learning a new concept or skill in one of your courses, first, set aside time in your schedule to learn. Next, read about the topic and take notes to deepen your understanding. Practice what you learned, maybe by using flashcards or completing a set of exercises. Next, share what you learned with others, such as your instructor or classmates, to get their feedback on your work and to enhance your learning from their input. Finally, practice a few more times until you can readily transfer what you learned to different contexts. For this assignment, take some time to reflect on the following questions: 1. Consider a learning experience – either recent or further back – that was successful for you. Thinking back to the experience that you went through, what were you able to learn? 2. What specific strategies, skills, and/or support systems did you either use or rely on that actively helped you succeed in your learning? Consider two to three strategies that helped. 3. How would you work to actively apply those same strategies, skills, and/or support systems to your classwork at University of Maryland Global Campus?

What Are Your Motivations?
Name: ______________________________
PACE100 Section: ___________________
This assignment is about understanding your motivations for coming to the university and what drives you to accomplish milestones in your life. Your goals and motivations are driven by your underlying values—the reasons you desire to achieve certain things. Values inform our thoughts, words, and actions, and they help us to grow, develop, and envision and create the future we want to experience.
Assignment Part 1: The first step in better understanding your values is by writing three to five goals for yourself in the table below. These could be personal or professional goals, and they could be short-term or long-term goals. You should aim to make them SMART goals.

Goal 5: |
Assignment Part 2: Once you’ve established your goals, think about what is motivating you to achieve those specific goals. Is it to get to a certain level in your career? Is it to achieve something you’ve always wanted to for personal reasons? Is it to set a good example for your family or friends?
The second piece of this assignment is to establish two or three motivations for each goal you’ve identified and write these in the table below. Copy your goals into the area below from part 1 of the assignment.

Your motivation for doing anything generally stems from your values. Motivating forces could be values instilled in you from a young age, or values you hold because of what you’ve learned or been exposed to. Your core values are those that drive your behaviors, actions, and words. They are the reasons we dedicate our time and energy to most things in our lives. They are our guiding principles.
Assignment Part 3: Now that you’ve established goals and acknowledged your motivations, consider what motivates you, and write the underlying reason for each goal. These are your values. There could be one or several values for each goal that you have, and the values might be the same or similar for different goals. In the table below, copy your goals from part 1 of the assignment and enter your values.
There are no wrong answers for this exercise. The purpose is to establish your values and to recognize what drives you to accomplish milestones in your life.
