The ADPRIMA web page on study skills to help students improve learning, understanding, and grades.

.Part 2: Preview Time Management Skills

Part 3: Project Management Basics

The presentations delivered centered on an introduction to project management, commencing with the definition of a project. They delineated the various reasons for potential project failures, including inadequate management of time, cost, and quality, as well as a failure to grasp the project's scope. 

Part 4: Check Out Previous Capstones

I thoroughly enjoyed observing the previous capstone festival, where students showcased their completed projects. Amongst the projects my favorite ones had to be PetRecs which was a tool assisting pet owners in monitoring and managing their pet's health and medical records, then the Date and Be Safe tool, which I felt like could come in handy because it allows extra security from scammer and catfishing. The last one I liked was Fantasheets which allows one to custom draft sport cheat sheets. I love sports and betting on it too so that would really be helpful for me. Overall the presentations were all unique and I can't wait to make a capstone project like that myself.

Part 5: Summarize Your Week on Your Learning Journal

During this week I tried finishing up my draft for my essay to get it out of the way. Furthermore, I wanted to finish up my other assignments to keep my main focus on the Industry Essay so I ended up finishing all of that first. While doing this I learned once you manage the time it doesn't seem too overwhelming and you don't feel rushed to get it all done. It gave me a very clear head space in the end.

OLI Module 2

For this week's OLI, it focused on certain strategies to help with team performance and better the team's collaboration skills. It gave great examples of key elements for making a well-rounded team environment For example, gender diversity, equal participation, and heightened social sensitivity. Going back to my group experiences, I realized the significance of creating a balanced equal type of group which needs one to openly express and share how they feel without judgement, but also contributing to being productive.
