Week 2 - SNHU

Schoolwork Due Date: Sunday, January 29, 2023 (11:59 pm EST)

Listen to Pelotonian Karla Contreras explain how she uses the virtual hour log to help her carve out that sacred time for school and better manage her time.

Week Two: Time Management

Just like any other responsibility in life, the choice to go to school requires that you actively, consistently make room for school in your life.

This week's theme is "time management." The following activities will have you reflect on your schedule, learn different time management techniques, and think about how to collaborate with others who have different schedules and priorities than you.

Make sure to complete ALL of the activities on the to-do list below: each activity supports another one, and they all support YOU!

CLOCK the time you work on school.

We see you! You're working hard! Keep track of the hours you spend on any school task using our Virtual Study Log! Remember, you cannot see what you've already submitted, so log hours each day you work on school or have a meeting with your Coach/AOL, OR keep track of your hours on paper and log everything retroactively on Sundays.

Need a reminder for how to work the study log? Check out our video tutorial!

2. SCHEDULE with your Coach.

4. COMPLETE your Mentor Meeting Assignment (MMA), Big Rocks.

(this assignment is due before your 1st meeting of this week!)

Watch our video tutorial on this week's CA. (optional)

5. COMPLETE your schoolwork for the week.

ADDRESS feedback, if any, on last week's SNHU project. Your Coach and SSC may have left you comments in your shared google doc of your SNHU project from last week. If comments in Google Docs is new for you, check out this video tutorial of what they are, how they work, how you can reply to them, and how you can "resolve" them (deleting them from your document once you've addressed them).

COMPLETE your Citations Assignment. SNHU is VERY serious about in-text citations and references. Use this document to learn and practice citing your sources. At the end of the document are "citations machines" that auto-generate citations for you! Trust us: You'll want to be able to revisit this information again during your college journey!

COMPLETE your Accenture modules. Have you ever wished for more time in your day? This week's Accenture modules will focus on time management strategies that can help you create the time you need to complete your tasks, achieve your goals, and be successful which will definitely come in handy as you complete your degree journey. You can expect to complete these 2 modules in 45 minutes.

PelotonU student Veronica Howard offers advice on time management

"My advice to give to others AO students is to make sure you pick a study schedule that you can commit to on a weekly basis. All of our schedules and family life is different so be sure to make a list all of your daily responsibilities so you can get a visual of where you can fit in your study time. Calendar alerts work for me because I can get side tracked so it's s constant reminder for me to ensure I am setting enough time aside to study and complete my assignments."
