Using your syllabus for PACE 111 and any other class you are enrolled in this semester, create a schedule for the next four weeks.

Brianna C., Environmental Management major

Instructions

Input all the due dates into a planner. Then break down your daily activities, giving yourself two tasks to complete during each study session. Work ahead whenever you can.

Whether you’re a first-time university student or returning to school after taking a break, it is important to set aside time to study and engage in your learning. And with the flexibility and autonomy that comes with being an online student, it is critical to schedule time to regularly access the virtual classroom, interact with your peers and instructor, study the course materials, and stay on top of the due dates for discussions, projects, and assignments.

As an online university student, you’ll encounter and receive advice on a variety of tools and tactics to help you succeed as a learner in the online classroom. For this activity, we’ll focus on three effective tactics to support learning: time management strategies, schedules, and note taking. First, you’ll read about ways to manage your time, ideas for creating a schedule, time management do’s and don’ts, and note taking methods. Once you’ve finished the readings, you will devise a schedule.

The tasks for completing this activity are as follows:

Using your syllabus for PACE 111 and any other class you are enrolled in this semester, create a schedule for the next four weeks.

When you’re creating your schedule, remember to incorporate time for reading, coursework, and assignments as outlined in your syllabus. Also factor in time for dealing with daily life occurrences such as work, cleaning, childcare, and so on. Take the time to include details so that you don’t forget any of your tasks.

You’ll also want to list two or three concrete steps you can take to incorporate school more fully into your schedule. Try to get support from your partner, children, friends, your community, or professional services to take on some of your obligations outside of school, such as cooking or watching the kids. That way you will have more time in your schedule to devote to your studies.

If you do not already keep a detailed schedule, you may use the attached calendar template to build on. If you do already keep a detailed schedule, you may provide a copy of that instead (be sure to include four full weeks and the concrete steps you’ll take to incorporate school into your life). You may find Tips for Organizing Your Planner helpful.

Upload your completed schedule file to the Assignments Folder by 11:59 p.m. ET on Tuesday of Week 4.

 

What problems should he tackle first? Which were operational and which were organizational? What timeline should he establish? How should he consider the people in the company? What should he ask them? How should he approach them to solicit their ideas for the turnaround?

Cote Construction Company case

Read the “Turning Around Cote Construction Company” found at the end of Chapter 9 and follow these steps before answering the case study questions. In order to answer the case study questions you will apply the Change Path Model from Chapter 9 to the Cote Construction Company case.

A case study is a puzzle to be solved, so before reading and answering the specific questions, develop your proposed solution by following these five steps:

  1. Read the case study to identify the key issues and underlying issues. These issues are the principles and concepts of the course module, which apply to the situation described in the case study.
  2. Record the facts from the case study which are relevant to the principles and concepts of the module. The case may have extraneous information not relevant to the current module. Your ability to differentiate between relevant and irrelevant information is an important aspect of case analysis, as it will inform the focus of your answers.
  3. Describe in some detail the actions that would address or correct the situation.
  4. Consider how you would support your solution with examples from experience or current real-life examples or cases from textbooks.
  5. Complete this initial analysis and then read the discussion questions. Typically, you will already have the answers to the questions but with a broader consideration. At this point, you can add the details and/or analytical tools required to solve the case.

Case Study Questions:

  1. What problems should he tackle first? Which were operational and which were organizational? What timeline should he establish?
  2. How should he consider the people in the company? What should he ask them? How should he approach them to solicit their ideas for the turnaround?
  3. How should he deal with Felix? Should he allow him to continue as head of Equipment and Operations? Should he sideline Felix and formally reduce his authority at Cote Construction? Would it, in fact, be a relief to employees to know that Felix no longer played a role in the company?

Your well-written paper should meet the following requirements:

  • Be 6-8 pages in length, which does not include the title and reference pages, which are never a part of the content minimum requirements.

Today, HR has reordered that focus and included the HR best practices that generate profit through increased productivity and revenue.
