Gcu learn

Do you know GCU offers free tutoring for online students? Use the following link ( https://students.gcu.edu/student-resources/institutional-effectiveness/gcu-learning-lounge.php ) to describe the benefits of the Learning Lounge and the definition of a LEAD.

The GCU Learning Lounge offers a lot of support to the students. Students can be helped on a one-on-one basis or in small group settings. The lounge is mostly run by student scholars who major in reading and maths. These scholars are trained to offer help to other students and they are also passionate about helping their fellow students. Apart from academic support, the other functions for the lounge include having an eatery, a computer lab, an area for study and a T.V. area among other important facilities.

List three ways a LEAD can help you with your assignments, and describe one in detail.

A LEAD can discuss with a student about the subject one-on-one.

Learning advocates can also help student with online discussions and assignments.

The third advantage is that LEADs help students to understand some concepts which students find to be difficult. For example, when a student is studying finance and fails to understand a finance concept, he can conduct LEAD who is well versed with such an area to explain in detail what it is about.

The "Time Management and Study Skills" essay in Chapter 4 of your eBook discusses various tips to help you manage and organize your time better and put the most effort into your studying.

Which of these have you had the most problems with in the past, and how do you intend to address these?

When I read from the eBook, there are a few problems but the major one is number 6 which states that we should learn to say "no." It is so difficult to say no and I have faced such problems in the past. For instance, when family members and close friends come calling, I find it very hard to decline their requests or advances. While at home or with my friends, everyone finds it easy to talk to me and ask me to accomplish a number of tasks. For instance, there was a time last semester when I was supposed to sit for an exam and my close friend asked me to look after her kids and I couldn't say no. I started doing the assignment with two kids under my watch. By the time I was done with it, they had caused a lot of trouble, throwing around objects in the house and the place was terrible. Regardless of the problem, I am learning to be more responsible by developing a schedule. Today, when someone wants to give me some responsibilities, I will first ask to conform to my schedule first. If I have some work to do, they will have to find someone else to help them. Although I'm still struggling about with this initiative, l am learning slowly by slowly and I'm sure that when the schedule program is fully implemented, my focus to academics will be in full force.
